Tavern on the Green to become a snack bar

21-May-2010

Central Park's once-lavish Tavern on the Green restaurant will become a visitors center and snack bar -- possibly permanently -- because the new operator selected by the city couldn't come to terms with the food workers union, Mayor Bloomberg said last night.

"It's disappointing that an agreement could not be reached between the two parties," Bloomberg said in a statement.

"The city tried to play a role of honest broker, but the two sides remain far apart. We can't -- and won't -- wait any longer for a resolution with no guarantee that one will come."
