Could Tavern on the Green, the landmark restaurant in Central Park, flourish under another name?
The question arose Monday when the Department of Parks and Recreation put out a formal 38-page request for bidders to take over the restaurant's 25-year operating license, which expires Dec. 31. Proposals must be submitted by May 1.
The request for proposal states that the city does not have the authority to pass along the name Tavern on the Green, which has been owned by the LeRoy family since the restaurateur Warner LeRoy, who died in 2001, took over the license to run the restaurant in 1973. The LeRoys own a Tavern on the Green restaurant in Florida and plan to open another in San Francisco.
