30 Rock is more than home to Saturday Night Live, NBC News, and Tina Fey's television show. High atop the 65th floor of the Rockefeller Center building is the Rainbow Room, the storied restaurant-bar-ballroom that it's always worth telling NYC's visitors to stop by instead of the Empire State Building. And now, it is closing.
Well, not exactly.
Don't get confused: Citing everybody's excuse for failure — "the economy" — owners the Cipriani family are on Jan. 12 shuttering The Rainbow Grill, the less price-y restaurant on the 65th floor, which sits adjacent to the more formal dinner-and-dancing Rainbow Room, which will remain open. So, too, will the bar area.
The Ciprianis, of course, took over the restaurant in 1998, buying out the Rockefeller family.
The Daily News estimates some 40 jobs will be lost. Hopefully gone is the waiter who required us to order the same cocktails twice and wait 30 minutes for them.
