Danny Meyer will be opening a new restaurant this fall in the Gramercy Park Hotel called Maialino (which means little pig in Italian). The name comes from the nickname he was given while working in Rome as a tour guide during college (it evolved from Meyerino into Maialino thanks to his liking of suckling pig) .
The Gramercy Park Hotel is a super cool place itself, an Ian Schrager property with interiors by Julian Schnabel. This restaurant will be the most recent from Danny Meyer since opening The Modern in 2005. It will be a Roman style trattoria overlooking the park. Design will be by the Rockwell Group, the concept is a contemporary twist on the traditional warm, comfortable atmosphere of a trattoria. It will feature warm colors, wood plank floors, etc. They will also be taking over all of the F&B for the hotel including room service and the roof bar. It will open in November and will surely be one of the hotest reservations of the Fall!
