Renovations: Davidburke Townhouse Closes for Revamp

PR reps report that the allegedly violent chef David Burke will be closing his David Burke Townhouse (fka david burke & donatella) tomorrow for renovations. It will reopen later this month with a new menu and new design with the same name and "basic concept." It wouldn't be surprising if the Upper East Sider followed in the footsteps of Cafe Boulud and Chanterelle by adding a greater focus on the bar/lounge area and bar menu. More details will be released as the reopening approaches later this month.
