CHELSEA—Eater has learned that Ed Witt is leaving Varietal, the newly one-stared oenophile destination. The decision to leave, apparently, was weeks in the making and only partially based on the sub-par review. Our source indicates there were "many factors contributing to this decision." Witt is giving the restaurant another week or two of his time, and after that may be opening a restaurant in Long Island. [EaterWire]
