Central Park Boathouse’s future remains murky after city put kibosh on $6M offer

Don’t maintain your breath over the Central Park Boathouse reopening any time quickly.

A supply mentioned that for the reason that Parks Division turned down a $6 million provide by billionaire investor Andrew Murstein in September, there was “zero, lower than nada” progress in naming a brand new operator for the now-shuttered landmark restaurant.

Earlier operator Dean Ballot pulled the plug in October, claiming the place might now not make a revenue.

We reported on Sept. 12 that town’s Workplace of Administration and Funds, which vets contracts for the Parks Dept., gave its thumbs-down on Murstein’s provide for unknown causes.

We’d wager that the Boathouse isn’t completely lifeless, regardless of town’s dithering. However let’s hope it doesn’t take 5 years to convey it again the best way it did with Tavern on the Inexperienced.
