Hey, it’s Emma Orlow from Caper. I recently stopped into Greenpoint’s Peek Inn, a new bar from the Meat Hook team. I’m simple: Give me some stained glass and a booth, and I’ll be a regular. Not only were there steamed hot dogs, but boy, was it steamy in there on the first 80-degree day of the year. It’s interesting to see the butcher shop, now with several outposts, blossom into a full-blown hospitality group with the new bar, Cozy Royale, and Hudson Diner upstate—all with menus that incorporate Meat Hook products in some form. Synergy! 360-marketing!

In today’s letter: A once-legendary Midtown celebrity haunt is reborn (sort of), how New York’s oldest film studio’s foreclosure might affect the surrounding restaurants, which old-school red sauce restaurant has new owners, and more behind the paywall.
