Vanity Fair editor and restaurateur Graydon Carter spilled some details about the resurrection of the Beatrice Inn, restaurant and once-hot spot (before the D-list moved in) that closed in 2009. But it doesn't seem like Chloe Sevigny has any reason to root for it anymore.
Carter's involvement as a minority owner was revealed late last year and he told the Wall Street Journal that the Bea will reopen in about five weeks, "It’s coming back, but it’s going to be a different kind of place than what it was last. Whatever it was - and I’m too old to have gone there, but my kids went - it won’t be that. There will be no Paul Sevigny," the Sevigny brother and DJ who was one of the previous owners.
Carter said there will be "a lot of wood and subway tiles - it’ll be cozy" but there's won't be indoor smoking, which the Beatrice Inn did have: "You can’t get a license for that, unfortunately. I probably would if I could."
