Serge Raoul, an Alsatian-born former filmmaker who with his brother, Guy, a classically trained chef, founded Raoul’s, a clubby French bistro and SoHo canteen in Lower Manhattan that drew generations of artists, rock stars, writers, models, machers and movie people — along with those who yearned to be near them — died on March 8 at his home in Nyack, N.Y. The cause was a glioblastoma, said his son, Karim Raoul. Serge was on hiatus from making documentaries and Guy had been working as a chef uptown when Serge set out to find him a restaurant. A friend thought Luizzi’s, a cozy and well-worn spaghetti and meatballs joint on Prince Street between Sullivan and Thompson, might be for sale. As it turned out, the owners, Ida and Tom Luizzi, were happy to make a deal if it included the provisions that Mr. Luizzi could drop in every day and that Inky the cat could stay.

The Life Cycle of New York Galleries What does being the center of the art world do to a neighborhood? BROOME STREET GRAND STREET WOOSTER STREET GREENE STREET MERCER STREET CROSBY STREET HOUSTON STREET CANAL STREET WEST BROADWAY BROADWAY LAFAYETTE STREET PRINCE STREET SPRING STREET opacity=0PRE-1950SIn the early 20th century, the area south of Houston, north of Canal, bounded roughly by West Broadway on one side and Lafayette/Centre Street on the other, was notorious for sweatshops and factory fires. Photo: Bob Adelman1968In 1968, a group called the SoHo Artists Association formed in order to help legalize loft living in manufacturing buildings. The reputations of these dealers helped cement the neighborhood as the center of the New York art world, though SoHo remained, in some ways, sparse. In 1996, the SoHo Grand Hotel opened on West Broadway (the Mercer would open the following year).
