A related evening for the calendar: Danny Meyer and John Grisham, September 28 at 8:15 p.m., 92NY’s Kaufmann Concert Hall, with a streaming option.
Meyer’s new book, What Could Possibly Go Right?, starts from a less comfortable episode than the standard hospitality success story: closing Tabla after years without shutting a restaurant. The advertised conversation covers risk, reinvention, writing and food; Grisham is a longtime friend, so expect a congenial discussion rather than an adversarial interview.
The interesting subject is how a culture changes as it expands—and what a founder learns when affection for a place cannot keep it alive. Prices and selectable seats were not exposed in the listing I could inspect. Exact event and access options
