Capital Grille to convey new life to MetLife Constructing

The MetLife Constructing, aka 200 Park Avenue, hasn’t been fairly the identical since its ground-floor and foyer eating places closed as a part of a long-term tower overhaul by landlords Tishman Speyer and Irvine Firm.

However that’s going to vary quickly.

In one of many yr’s largest restaurant offers anyplace, Capital Grille has signed a lease for an enormous, 15,000-square-foot (together with outside area) steakhouse alongside East forty fifth Avenue to switch Naples 45. The opening is ready for mid-2023.

Additionally coming are Jack’s Stir Brew Espresso and Black Seed Bagels, which can open later this yr within the foyer.

Talks are ongoing to fill the previous La Fonda del Sol area.
