The Edison--details announced

What the back story on this one again? What kind of Fare will be served?

It's going to be similar in design to the Edison in LA, it's being done by the same people. As for food, we don't know yet.

Your aerial reminded me about that temporary boardwalk built years (?) ago that is still there. I wonder why it hasn't been removed yet.

They might not want to divert resources from other parts of the project at this point.

Save PI has said it's been used to deliver food to Paradiso and Portobello for the time being. It is slated to be demoed once work wraps on The Edison.

Is this restaurant going to be similar to the Edison in the Biltmore hotel? I remember it having a very good menu.
