"And because Seven is located in a historic building," George added, "we couldn't add an outdoor deck or patio to accommodate smokers. That was hard, because we had built up a very steady nightclub clientele." The addition of the new nightclubs in the Power & Light District also took its toll on Seven's cocktail crowd.
George and Fontana parted ways after Seven was about a year old and George operated the business himself. I asked him if he'd consider opening another restaurant someday.
"My background is in the transportation business," he laughed. "Let's just say that I've had my enjoyment. It was a lot of fun, but the restaurant and nightclub business is very hands-on. You need to be there all the time."
Not quite seven days a week, but you get the idea. George has the business up for sale. Maybe Seven will be a lucky number for someone else.

Last night I went to a great fundraiser at 49 Grove for the Susan G. Komen�s Race For The Cure Breast Cancer Charity. The weather sucked and only 100 or so people showed but the place was really high end and nice. Much nicer then I expected a fundraiser to be. Little touches like pink roses all over the place, scented candles, mints with the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon on them, even the staff had pink ribbons on. The only thing that I didn�t like about the place was the location, West Village and we live uptown and that there was no food at the event.
