Gordon Ramsay New York closed for lunch but it's seasonal

Gordon Ramsay's two-Michelin-starred restaurant at the London in New York has stopped serving lunch.

But it's not because business is bad, his spokeswoman assures me.

"The restaurant has been closed for lunch during the winter months as is standard practice amongst New York's fine dining restaurants," she says.

"It will be reopening for the summer in due course."

Having had a quick flick through New York's Michelin guide, however, it seems it's not at all standard practice for the city's fine dining restaurants to close for lunch during winter.

And while a number of Michelin-starred restaurants serve lunch only on specific days, this doesn't appear to be seasonal at all.

Does Ramsay's spokeswoman know something we don't?
