And now, a restaurant that you'll probably never get to eat at: schmancy private social club The Battery has announced plans for its restaurant, 717B. Helmed by Jason Arbusto, who's cooked for Alain Ducasse's restaurants in France, Monaco, and Las Vegas, it'll only be open to members, their guests, and guests of the upstairs hotel. The focus is "upscale casual" fine dining; a separate gastropub will serve more laid-back patrons. The Battery opens next month, but 717B won't arrive until September. Not that it really matters to us plebes. [Inside Scoop]
