1) Anything new in today's cornucopia of reports on this little restaurant opening in NoMeat—Morimoto, it's called? The NYT dishes on the slate of private parties on tap at the Starr duo ("A fashion presentation by Adam + Eve is scheduled for Feb. 6 at Buddakan. A Calvin Klein dinner will be held at Morimoto on Feb. 9"), while Leuzzi drops some serious boldface chef nameage in the Sun.
