NYC’s Snowiest January Was ‘Killer Month’ From Nobu to Gas Pump

For restauranteur Drew Nieporent and gas station owner John Demeo, New York City’s snowiest January blasted away business that they say won’t return.

At Myriad Restaurant Group’s six Manhattan restaurants, including the Tribeca Grill and Nobu, business on some nights fell 50 percent or more from normal, said Nieporent. “That’s business that you’ll never get back,” he said in a telephone interview. “Overall, it’s been a killer month.”
