If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then what happened Monday afternoon in Hell’s Kitchen was a well-planned success.
The folks at Roc Nation, Caesars Palace and SL Green Realty, who hope to win the bid for a glitzy casino in Times Square, held an eight-hour free lunch and dinner buffet at The Purple Tongue for people who live and work in the area.
Those who showed up got a quick sales pitch about the economic benefits and employment opportunities, a meet-and-greet with entertainer Fat Joe, and a friendly request to sign a letter of support.
