Trois semaines après le terrible drame qui a touché le bar "Le Constellation", à Crans-Montana (Suisse), les enquêteurs tentent encore faire la lumière sur de nombreuses zones d’ombre, notamment celle entourant...

We ate at Tommy Bahama's Manhattan restaurant, which has become a hot spot for a business lunch.Jordan Hart/Business InsiderWe had lunch at Tommy Bahama in Midtown Manhattan, which has become a go-to for the Wall Street crowd.We spent $145 and were sufficiently underwhelmed by the food, including the famous coconut shrimp.Even so, we get the airy Floridian draw and why it's an ideal spot for a business lunch.Above an oasis of floppy sun hats, chinos, and pastel polos on most weekday afternoons, you will find one of Manhattan's most formidable cohorts: the power lunchers.We visited the Midtown location of Tommy Bahama, a clothing store that also includes a chain of restaurants, on a recent Tuesday. The interior design was straight out of a beachfront vacation home, but the environment was more work than play.The business lunch is what brought us to the restaurant in the first place, after Grubstreet reported that it's become a go-to spot for financiers' midday meal.Since the January article, our server said the location has only gotten more popular, with employees looking for a break from the skyscrapers that tower over the second-floor restaurant. She said the restaurant also often hosts parties for banks.So, we sat down for our own power lunch of sorts to see how the finance bros dine during the day. We picked out a mix of popular items and whatever sounded appetizing. Unlike some of the diners around us, we skipped the cocktails.The restaurant is in the heart of MidtownTommy Bahama is in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.Jordan Hart/Business InsiderThe Tommy Bahama on 45th Street and 5th Avenue bills itself on its website as "an oasis in the big city," a "refuge" that's "ideal for business lunches." Geographically, it makes total sense — on foot, Tommy Bahama is six minutes from JPMorgan's new tower, nine minutes from Bank of America Tower, five minutes from a PWC building, and 12 minutes from the main Morgan Stanley office.We'll spare you the full list of adjacent corporate headquarters.The interior had the beach vibes we expectedAlice Tecotzky/Business InsiderAfter ascending a spiral staircase from the quiet bar area, we found the dining area packed with collared shirts, quarter-zip pullovers, and not-so-subtle watches.The wooden shutters and palm plants evoked a beach house in Naples, Florida, more than cold and windy Midtown Manhattan, but the outerwear adorning most everyone's chairs reminded us that, yes, we were still in New York. Of the 29 Tommy Bahama restaurants and bars nationwide, 11 are in Florida, according to the store's website.The staff were friendly and laid-back, and quickly offered to switch us from our high-top to a better table as soon as one became available. Some of our fellow diners enjoyed what looked like Aperol or Hugo spritzes — very summer-y. Many of the tables had bottles of blue Saratoga spring water bottles, unlike the basic tap water we ordered.During our Tuesday visit, we observed more men than women in the crowded restaurant, and our waitress said it used to skew even more male. She also said Mondays and Fridays are typically the slowest lunch times, when some people work remotely.Orders piled up in the kitchenAlice Tecotzky/Business InsiderWe had a 12:30 p.m. reservation, and the restaurant kept filling up throughout our meal. Diners eventually sat at the bar, and when I, Alice, went to the bathroom around 1:20 p.m., a gaggle of waiters was congregating by the kitchen, discussing table numbers over a window crammed with burgers and salads.Apart from the kitchen, though, the crowded restaurant didn't feel cramped. Tables were far enough apart that we couldn't hear others' conversations, yet the background din of conversation made the room feel lively. The only deal talk we overheard came from a woman on her way out, who mentioned her interest in bringing ESRT, the company that owns the Empire State…

De retour à l’OL ces dernières saisons, Corentin Tolisso et Rachid Ghezzal étaient déjà là en 2016. Ironie de l’histoire, les deux joueurs sont les seuls absents de ce dimanche soir pour le match anniversaire. Parfois, les choses sont bien faites. D’autres, les coups du sort empêchent que le scénario ne soit totalement parfait. Ce […] L’article Rescapés de 2016, Tolisso et Ghezzal manqueront la fête au Parc OL est apparu en premier sur Olympique & Lyonnais.
