“Restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow and Real Estate Developer David Marvin have come to an agreement which would allow the Glenn Hotel to expand its meeting and banquet space and give Maxim Prime the opportunity to move to larger quarters.”
So says the press release. It further explains that Maxim Prime’s “new location” will be announced shortly.
Here’s my take: Maxim Prime, Jeffrey Chodorow’s palace of prime beef and super-soft porn in Downtown’s Glenn Hotel, hasn’t made its numbers. And while Chodorow et al probably has the intention of staying in the Atlanta area, there’s no location as of yet. So this “move” sounds a lot more like a “close” to me. The agreement reached is effective March 1st. The hotel is purportedly looking to expand space for convention use, and real estate developer David Marvin has agreed to buy out the remainder of Maxim’s lease.
Meanwhile, Riccardo Ullio’s Sotto Sotto, in Inman Park, is turning ten. Ullio is rolling out the original menu from 1999 (which includes goodies like strozzapreti with braised sausage and spaghetti alla bottarga), including the prices. The celebration is Wednesday, Feb. 25 and lasts all night, with a champagne toast at 10:30 p.m.
