Tom Colicchio Moves Craftbar

By JULIETTE ROSSANT In her "Off the Menu" column in yesterday's New York Times, Florence Fabricant reported that super chef Tom Colicchio will be moving Craftbar around the corner in February 2005, from 47 East 19th Street to 900 Broadway. Craftbar will be replacing Morrell's, whose owners are closing down that venerable institution. The expanded Craftbar will still feature the food of chef Akhtar Nawab. I just hope Tom hires Bentel & Bentel again to design the new interior and doesn't skimp on the look. I described Peter Bentel's designs all through pages 186-198 and the design of Craftbar specifically on 198 in Super Chef. Florence doesn't spill the beans on what Tom is planning on doing with the old Craftbar space. Seacraft or Cakecraft? -- I'll try to find out.
