Keith McNally, owner of some of New York’s most glamorous restaurants, took to Instagram outraged last week, owing to an unannounced stand-up from Graydon Carter, the ex-Vanity Fair Editor.
The story goes like this: Carter booked a table for 12 people at 1pm on a busy day at McNally’s top-tier Morandi restaurant, then failed to show up. According to McNally, extra staff had been brought in to help with the service and Carter’s actions cost Morandi money, as well as tip money for the servers.
