Monday, July 25, 2016I'm in town (and I'm going to spend large) crowd."Then there were "fixtures," a quintet of hyper-hitters—Blackstone founders Steve Schwarzman and Pete Peterson among them—who had tables on permanent reservation and who, one imagines, will need withdrawal therapy.But what kept them coming? How has the Four Seasons, in this age of bulldozer faddism, endured? It's hard to capture the depth of relationship between the staff and regulars without descending into psychobabble, but anyone can say that it is all about the personal. Regulars book with someone they know—and who will be there to talk to them when they ascend the shallow steps to the restaurant. They get the table captain they ask for and with it, the comfort of being known. One, who didn't want to be named for this piece, was snuck in at 11 a.m. every day. In the half an hour of peace before the restaurant opens, he sips a whiskey and talked to his favorite barman. Sanon says the benefits of intimacy go both ways—the staff stays for decades because of it.Indeed, the Four Seasons' success is a joint venture, a customer-staff conspiracy in which the regulars get a fix of almost casual familiarity, while the staff perform a long-mastered act of ignoring the big power of their guests outside the walls of the restaurant. Perhaps inevitably, such amity has created the imprint of a family. Of the regulars and staff interviewed, many spoke of a "Four Seasons family." Birthdays, weddings, kids' graduations, blow-out trading days, they've been experienced together here. So, too, were the collective sufferings of 9/11 and the banking crisis, when titans hunkered down, slashed their wine bills and sought refuge from the press pack. That connection has been writ large in these ambered days, with eulogy after eulogy appearing across not only the New York, but the national press. But in the end, the feeling is quite simple, quite interpersonal. And so, too, is the dreadful sense of its ending."The end—it has been all anyone wants to talk about," said Julius Mariano, a veteran of the restaurant's front of house staff. It was still two weeks away and he looked tired as he spread his upturned palms in a gesture that says, "What more can we do?" The...
