Michel Richard Wire

Michel Richard's new brasserie Villard Michel Richard opened last week in the New York Palace Hotel, taking over the former Gilt and Le Cirque 2000 space. The coolest feature? A wall of holographic portraits behind the bar that alternate between an image of Richard and a portrait of Henry Villard, the 19th century financier that the restaurant is named after. Look for breakfast, lunch and dinner here. [Eater NY]
