  1. I’m pretty certain 16 Hudson St. Was co-opted prior to 1991…I’m thinking more like 1985 or so. Dan Ackroyd was one of the first owners of a top floor unit.

  2. The date of the first offering plan for this building was July 16th, 1979, regards, Sonia

  3. In the old days a review like the one Gitano got from Eater would have ruined its livelihood. Bryan Miller at NYT destroyed many a restaurants…cheer up Gitano, lick your wounds and do better. No one review has the power it used to.
