Boiler Problems at West Branch?
Posted at 02:44:47 PM in Restaurant gossipby Keith Wagstaff
We heard through the grapevine that the boiler at Tom Valenti's new UWS project West Branch is busted, delaying the restaurant's opening and causing Valenti to let his staff go. The same boiler was to be used by the new Fatty Crab, meaning Zak Pelaccio's restaurant might be experiencing similar setbacks. Calls to Valenti's other restaurant, Ouest, and the On the Ave Hotel (where both restaurants are located) failed to get confirmation from Mr. Valenti himself, so don't set this bit of gossip in stone. Still, this is potentially devastating news for Upper West Siders looking forward to one of the neighborhood's hottest fall openings.
UPDATE (3:29pm): A commentor who identifies himself as Tom Valenti says:
"Hello, all....we're still here! The boiler is new, as is Fatty Crabs (two separate units)...inspection was what we were delayed by. Our secondary staffing was set on hold as we were awaiting the boiler inspection. Now that we've been given the green light,we're hoping to feed you all very soon."

I shopped around for quite a while looking for a net branch opportunity. Opening up an Indiana mortgage net branch was my ultimate goal. After getting several recommendations and wooing from various companies, I settled on Top Flite Financial and I couldn’t be happier (www.tffinc.net). I’m now my own loan officer. I set my own hours, and personally couldn’t be happier with my choice.

One company that I’ve dealt with in the past that specializes in expanding their net branch network is Top Flite Financial (www.tffinc.net). They’ve got a web site with all of their information on it. I would recommend starting there first. They also have some good informative links to help you out.

WITH HER LATEST MOVIE, BATTLE IN SEATTLE, MARY ALOE IS QUICKLY BECOMING ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT INDEPENDENT FEMALE
PRODUCERS IN HOLLYWOOD. BUT WHAT EXACTLY DOES A PRODUCER DO, ANYWAY? STRUT’S VICKI HOGARTH CHECKS IN WITH MARY ALOE FOR THE LOWDOWN
It’s around 6 p.m., and film producer Mary Aloe and I are sitting on a leather couch in the dimly lit bar at Toronto’s Sutton Place Hotel. Its hard to ignore the cacophonous sound of over 60 people crowded into this narrow establishment all talking at once, but the noise only adds to the excitement of this particular week during September’s Toronto International Film Festival. And while journalists and movie fanatics alike can sit back and immerse themselves in the temporarily transplanted Hollywood magic, producers like Mary Aloe have a lot resting on the reception of their films, many of which will have their world premieres at the festival.
Aside from around-the-clock meetings with distributors and parties with guest lists tighter than Mariah Carey’s tube tops, Mary Aloe’s main reason for being here was to attend the gala premiere of her latest project, Battle in Seattle. The film, about the late-’90s riots in the West Coast city, stars Charlize Theron and is also the directorial debut of Theron’s husband, Stuart Townsend. Such a gala can make or break a film’s eventual release depending on how it’s received by the crowd and the critics. Fortunately, when the credits rolled the film was met with a 15-minute standing ovation at the famous Elgin Theatre, and Mary Aloe, first thing the next day, was met with a flood of phone calls from distributors making offers. As I peruse the wine menu, Mary Aloe orders herself a glass of sparkling water. She has a business dinner to go to after this and prefers to start the evening off on a light note. I ask her what a film producer’s job entails and why it’s such a boys’ club. “Here’s the thing…” says Mary Aloe, and we begin to really talk.
How come I don’t know any producers or know what a producer does?
It’s funny, even if you’re Kennedy/Marshall, a lot of people don’t know who any of these producers are – unless you go up to win that Oscar. And they still don’t remember your name! Like, do you remember the name of the producer who produced Crash? We’re the unsung heroes.
