Paola’s East
This summer, there will be no Eleven Madison Park vacationing in the Hamptons as EMP Summer House. In its place, the stately white farmhouse and grounds will house a branch of Paola’s Restaurant, an Upper East Side anchor for decades. Stefano Marracino, the son of Paola Bottero, the founder, will oversee the restaurant, which he is hoping to run on a year-round basis. The menu will be Italian, but with an emphasis on seafood and local produce. The whitewashed interior will have black accents, and there’s likely to be an indoor-outdoor raw bar. (Friday)
