History

A clean break on Tudor City Place

L'Impero, once Scott Conant's flagship, closed on June 29, 2008, in what was billed as a clean break from that former identity1. It was to reopen in mid-July as Convivio, with even more of a focus on Southern Italian cooking1. Tudor City Steakhouse now lists 45 Tudor City Place, open from 3pm to 10pm every day2.
