Chris Shott, Mayor of Long Island City, sits down with Danny Meyer, Mayor of Everywhere Else, to ask the restaurateur about the conspiracy theory that Meyer was behind a large anonymous gift to the Union Square Park renovation because he was eying the planned year-round restaurant space. Meyer's response: "If I had a dollar for every time somebody said we're doing Union Square Park. People have been so certain, first, that I was the anonymous donor to the park—I'm not! So, that I could do [the restaurant]—I'm not! As long as I don't get written about for doing a ponzi scheme, I guess I'm fine with it." [NYO]
