cpnews Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Just when we were wondering if the Meatpacking District was bound to be a culinary wasteland, a commenter drops a huge rumor* that sent our heads a spinning. According to said commenter, "Word has it that Megu is in negotiations with Merkato." Crazy. Megu is a fine establishment with a global reputation for luxurious Japanese cuisine served by an expert staff, and we would have to think plunking itself in the heart of the MPD action would be a successful venture, giving tourists and corporate types one more option to go big in the hood. But is it an original dining concept that is choosing the Far West Side to make a go of it? Hardly. It's two NYC locations already do a brisk business. This is akin to Nobu opening on 57th Street - a big concept with a huge up front cost, but with little risk, unless customer's appetite for Japanese cuisine wanes. Fat chance. We will wait to see how this plays out.*Again, this is only a rumor. We welcome additional information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
