Seasons of Love

Last Friday my coworkers and I had our monthly chain lunch at Olive Garden in Times Square.  We know how to keep it classy.  On my way out I noticed a large number of men who looked like they were managers of the restaurant.  Yes, there is a certain look to an Olive Garden manager.  I wanted to impress them with my knowledge of chains so I asked them if a Seasons 52 would ever open in NYC.  You see the Olive Garden and Seasons 52 both are part of the Darden restaurant group.  If you are not familiar with Seasons 52 it is a lovely more upscale chain with all healthy and low calorie dishes.  It is fab. 
So to make a long story short the managers smiled at me and said, "it might be sooner than you think."  WOWZERS!!!  Could this be true?  I really hope so.  I looked on their site and didn't see anything about a NYC opening but it could be soon!  I did see that they are opening one in Roosevelt Field in Long Island.  That in itself is very exciting and a perfect spot of a Seasons 52.  I can see the pre Boca crowd really digging this place.  I would perhaps take a ride to good ol' LI to check it out.  Maybe?  I just really hope one opens up in NYC.   Stay tuned!
