Serafina to open trattoria at latest Anagram apartment tower
The developers of Anagram luxury rental apartment towers are expanding the brand in Manhattan. Popular Italian trattoria brand Serafina is growing at even faster pace. The two will come together at 300 E. 50th St. at Second Avenue, where Serafina owners Vittorio Assaf and Fabio Granato will launch their first seafood-driven venue, Serafina Mare, next year. The latest Anagram, which will begin receiving tenants in August, is the latest project by the development team of Global Holdings and MAG Partners. Global Holdings' senior vice president Josh Feder said, 'Each of our Anagram projects in the city is uniquely designed to fit into the neighborhood.

Their team saw our vision and approached us, securing a full-floor lease before apartment leasing even began.' Granato said the location has special meaning for him because, 'When I first came to the States, I lived in the building that was torn down for the Anagram. There's a lot of energy in the neighborhood but no Serafina presence.' The off-market transaction hasn't been reported previously. Serafina Mare, with 5,000 square feet in the entire ground-floor retail space, will be the Serafina brand's 13th Manhattan location in addition to others in the suburbs and around the US. Advertisement The new Serafina will do battle with La Pecora Bianca across the street. The latter is part of another growing Italian chain in the mid-priced field, a category that also includes Felice, which recently signed a lease to open in Trump Plaza on Third Avenue at East 61st Street… Granato wouldn't discuss terms other than that the landlord provided a tenant-improvement allowance. 'The rest is all up to us,' he said. Serafina will get the space on Jan. 1, and will take nine months for design and construction. Rendering of Anagram tower at 300 E. 50th St. at Second Avenue.

The new project by Eyal Ofer's Global Holdings and MaryAnne Gilmartin's MAG Partners began leasing in June and will be completed when move-ins start in August. Engineering and development consulting firm Mott MacDonald NY is expanding with a full-floor, 25,372 square-foot lease at the Empire State Building. The company will also continue to use its current 18,434 square-foot space at 1400 Broadway, which like the landmark skyscraper is owned by Empire State Realty Trust. ESRT executive vice president Thomas P. Durels said, 'Mott MacDonald is familiar with our turnkey office spaces, top-tier amenities, and sustainability leadership. We are pleased Mott MacDonald will continue their partnership with us and expand.' Advertisement A Colliers team repped the tenant. The ownership was repped by a Newmark team and in-house by Shanae Ursini.

The 1% Club players left stumped by ‘easy' food question – could you get it right in 30 seconds?
PLAYERS on The 1% Club were completely stumped by a food question in just the second round. Lee Mack, 56, took to the ITV airwaves over the weekend to present the latest edition of the smash-hit gameshow. 6 6 6 The 1% Club is a unique format that doesn't test players on their general knowledge like other shows. Instead, it tests them on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense. 100 players are whittled down, question by question, as they are tasked with solving different riddles. They aim to get to the last round where only one percent of the public could answer the final question correctly. However, nearly a quarter of the players were eliminated in the second round of the competition on Saturday's episode. A whopping 19 players were taken out of the game by an Anagram riddle, which was a question that 80 percent of the public would get right. "What common food below has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER." The answer of course was the word 'bread'. Lee Mack himself could not believe that so many players couldn't get the answer in the allotted 30 second time limit. "Good God!", he exclaimed. "I mean, unlucky for those of you that are out." The 1% Club's Lee Mack shocked as record number use pass on question - but can you get it right- Before he turned around to look at the answer, Lee added: "We lost 19 on that one?" The host could not hide his shock and apparent disappointment that so many players were eliminated so early in the game. He added: "It's bread. I'm surprised - I have to be honest - that so many people went out on that. "It doesn't help, but I'm only being honest." 6 6 6
