Gotham opened in 1984 and heralded in a new era in American dining. It has a Michelin star, multiple James Beard Awards, and more 3-star reviews in The New York Times than any other restaurant in history (6 total). The restaurant was an institution here in New York City until the pandemic abruptly forced it closed in March 2020. After more than 36 years, the original owners decided to walk away. 

But Managing Partner, Bret Csencsitz decided to pick up the baton. He spent the last 2 years planning its rebirth and it has risen like the phoenix. Same address, same layout, but a whole new feel. Vibrant art populates the place, and interesting new spaces make it feel brand new. 

On this week's episode I talk to him about opening a restaurant in the current climate, and how exactly you begin to think about relaunching a brand as beloved as Gotham.
