We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert, the all-star concert set to feature Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon and Patti Smith among many others, was canceled Saturday night after lightning and rain forced attendees to evacuate and find shelter. The initial announcement was made midway through Barry Manilow’s performance of “Can’t Smile Without You,” which followed a medley of the Grammy-award winning artist’s hits including “Copacabana” and “Mandy.” Ironically, CNN noted that Manilow was set to perform his hit “I Made It Through the Rain” when organizers cancelled the show.

Jennifer Hudson delivered a striking performance of the aria “Nessun Dorma” at We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert.
New York’s ‘Homecoming’ Show: An All-Star Concert Becomes a Pandemic Metaphor
Joined by the New York Philharmonic, the Respect star belted the Giacomo Puccini opera tune to an audience of 60,000 people in Central Park. It was notably the same classical piece Aretha Franklin had performed at the Grammys in 1998.

Sun Valley, Idaho — Brian Grazer and Bobby Kotick goofed around a little bit when they ran into each other in the driveway outside the Sun Valley Lodge.
Grazer pretended to be announcing Kotick’s name in sports announcer fashion (“Bob-bee Kooo-tick”). But other than a little backslapping and mugging for a selfie by the chairman of Imagine Entertainment and the CEO of Activision Blizzard, Allen & Co. conference attendees were all business for the gathering here that brings together business moguls, tech titans and other influential figures for heady conversations about issues ranging from business to public health (a natural topic after last year’s conference was Ko’d by Covid) to immigration to climate change.
Upon arriving at the mountain resort, Allen & Co. conference-goers were directed to take a rapid Covid-19 test. That sober reminder of real-world conditions outside of this picturesque Alpine village-style setting definitely cut into the willingness...

If ever there was a year for the Allen & Co. conference to be a fertile ground for dealmaking among the titans of tech and media, it’s this one.
The entertainment industry is in an everyone’s-talking-to-everyone moment, as evidenced by the surprise of the WarnerMedia-Discovery merger and Amazon’s move to swallow up a legacy Hollywood studio with its nearly $9 billion acquisition of MGM.
The moguls and C-suite executives who attend the invitation-only Allen & Co. gathering that runs July 6-10 at the Sun Valley mountain resort haven’t done much mingling over the past 18 months amid lockdown conditions. This year’s high-altitude reunion, after last year’s conference was tabled for the first time in years, could spark — and even revive — any number of conversations.

“Tiger King” director Eric Goode owns several New York hotels and restaurants that have all had to shut their doors amid the coronavirus pandemic, putting many of his employees out of work. Now, some of them are asking for his help.
Goode, who directed and executive produced Netflix’s smash-hit docuseries “Tiger King” along with Rebecca Chaiklin, owns the Bowery Hotel, the Jane Hotel, the Waverly Inn, and a number of restaurants including one well-established NoHo eatery called B Bar and Grill.
Buzzfeed News conducted interviews with some of Goode’s former B Bar staffers who were laid off from the restaurant when the pandemic hit. Many say that they have pleaded with Goode to help those who have fallen on hard times, but that their requests seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

Tim Cook, Lachlan Murdoch, Shari Redstone, Brian Roberts, Mark Zuckerberg and Bob Iger are among the media and technology moguls who will be touching down in Sun Valley, Idaho, in July for Allen & Co.’s annual media conference.
The invite-only confab is a chance for the one-percent of the one-percent to break out their windbreakers and jeans, and give the power suits a rest while biking and hiking in alpine splendor. It’s also historically been the locus of deal-making. Comcast’s purchase of NBC/Universal, the Washington Post’s sale to Jeff Bezos and Disney’s pact for Capital Cities/ABC were all hatched at Sun Valley. The conference was also the birthplace of some less successful mergers, namely AOL’s disastrous marriage to Time Warner.
In recent years, as technology and streaming have upended the traditional entertainment business, the biggest stars at Sun Valley have hailed from Silicon Valley.

During a time when many restaurants (mainly those owned by restauranteur Danny Meyer) are moving towards eliminating tipping, Mario Batali isn’t afraid to admit he’s not sure that system is what’s best for the industry.
In an interview with LinkedIn’s Daniel Roth, the chef who owns nearly 30 restaurants revealed that his company is currently paying waiters $12 an hour on top of their tips, resulting in a hefty salary—and one that will only go up after minimum wage reaches $15 in New York City by 2018.

Turns out the comedian, who was once a waiter and is married to a former waitress (Jessica Seinfeld, who was terrible at that job, according to her), would be deeply sad to see the practice end, not just for the sake of the servers but because there's something intrinsically funny about the shame and secrecy of watching your friends try to do math in their head and out-generous each other. "Comedy-wise, I really like tipping," he told Grub. "I like the arguments. I like the weirdness. I like the whispering — there's no tipping without whispering. How much should I give? It's always done like it's illegal for some reason ... like if you...

I've been around the New York restaurant scene for more than 30 years and few names come up with as much respect and affection as that of Floyd Cardoz. I couldn't believe I never met him until I went to North End Grill a few days ago to celebrate the birthday of a great friend. It was a girl's lunch out -- white wine (one from Greece and another from Austria), a torchon of foie gras with rhubarb-tangerine preserve and grilled brioche; soft-scrambled eggs with bacon and ramps, a salad of escarole, endive and radicchio tossed with blood oranges and Marcona almonds, linguine with flaked halibut, fava leaves and citrus gremolata. There were outstanding "Thrice-Fried Spiced Fries" peppered with mango powder, paprika and cumin, and, for dessert, an awesome butterscotch pot de crème with chocolate streusel and "single Maltmallows" (homemade marshmallows perfumed with scotch), and a sexy rendition of chocolate mousse...
