Shockingly, it looks like Wakiya, the epically-delayed and botched restaurant at Ian Shraeger's Gramercy Park Hotel is actually, really, truly, actually going to open. If you want to get in on the action (probably accurate: if you want to get in at all), they're holding an open call for staff tomorrow. Signs are posted around the hotel and the notice is on Craigslist as well:
