In 2008 Fran Camaj transformed an old furniture store on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Calif., into an industrial-chic, farm-to-table restaurant with wood-oven pizzas, fresh seasonal pastas and other California-meets-Mediterranean creations by chef Travis Lett. Camaj, a former middle school science teacher who became a real estate speculator, named the restaurant Gjelina, after his mom, a transplant from Montenegro who helped finance the place. “I vastly underestimated what it was going to become,” he says of the restaurant’s rapid success.

☆ How Milan’s Seafood King Made Langosteria a Must for Foodies and Fashionistas Alike

Langosteria CEO Enrico Buonocore at one of the restaurant group’s four Milan outposts. And the waitstaff navigate the 150-seat dining room and an equally expansive terrace in parka-topped uniforms custom-made by Moncler . “It’s Langosteria, but Langosteria in the mountains,” says founder Enrico Buonocore, 46, of the Swiss outpost of his fashion-world haunt, a destination for seafood since 2007. “Our restaurants are not copy and paste, all are unique projects. The layout is the same, the gastronomic line is the same, but the restaurant is different.”
☆ The New Cultural Landscape of Berlin

When I moved here it was still completely rubble and ruins,” says Klaus Biesenbach as we enter a leafy courtyard, facing a mustard-colored apartment building in former East Berlin. It’s mid-September, at the end of Berlin Art Week, and we are touring the few square blocks where the post–Cold War art scene, and Biesenbach’s life in the city, first took root. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he moved into a former bicycle storage room here—without heat, hot water or a phone line. “I spent my first winter going to museums with my student card,” he says. “I could be there for hours, sipping tea to stay warm.”
☆ The Hoteliers Bringing New Life to Stately Old Resorts
  + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Jay Cheshes | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
The Soniat House hotel in New Orleans, one of the properties Ken Fulk and Clark Lyda have taken over with their company InHouse. In 1903 turpentine magnate Robert Paterson and his wife, Marie Louise Paterson, moved into a new mansion in the Berkshires filled with art and antiques, on 130 wooded acres on the edge of Lenox, Massachusetts. They named their stately pile Blantyre, after a village in Scotland, Robert’s native country. Following Robert’s 1917 death, the palatial spread changed hands many times, passing in and out of bankruptcy as it became a country club, before emerging in the 1980s as a genteel resort famous for its encyclopedic wine cellar and ambitious white-tablecloth cooking. Though renovations over the years sapped some of the time-capsule splendor of the Paterson home, the historic bones of the building were still largely intact when designer Ken Fulk and property developer Clark Lyda purchased the hotel last year.
