Empire-Building with Graydon Carter
Graydon Carter is in expansion mode: The Vanity Fair editor is teaming up with hotelier Jeff Klein (City Club Hotel, Sunset Tower in LA) and restaurateur Jeremy King (Wolseley in London) to take over the Monkey Bar on East 54th Street. The three have been at it for some time. A year ago, the three had considered taking over the Oak Room at the Plaza, but ended up deciding against it. As did Monkey Bar owner Peter Glazier, who is now turning over the spot over to Carter, Klein, and King. [Page Six]
