Not-new and noted

I think it's kinda nice that the restaurant everyone's buzzing about isn't spanking new. True, it's a reopening and they've gotten themselves some new hot chefs, and it's the Balthazar people, but it just seems like there hasn't been one of these 'revivals' for some time, and despite the usual A-list/so-hot-right-now bullcrap, it's a nice break from 100% new restaurants, or ex-barber shops, liquor stores etc. trend. Or maybe I'm just giving in to all the PR...
