Petrossian Brings the Luxury of Caviar

Designed by Ion Oroveanu, Petrossian seats just 60 guests within an Art Deco setting of polished marble, lustrous wood, Lalique sconces, a Lanvin chandelier, and superb bronze sculptures from the 1930s. Opened in 1984, the restaurant is housed in Alwyn Court, a historic 1909 apartment building; next door is Petrossian’s food boutique, with one side showcasing its caviar, smoked salmon, foie gras, tea, and preserves, and the other its pastries and desserts. The boutique also sells silver salt and pepper shakers and mother-of-pearl spoons, requisite for eating caviar in its purest form. A few steps up to the rear is a small café.(article by Gotham Magazine)

Petrossian-Designed by Ion Oroveanu

Founded in 1984, New York’s Petrossian restaurant is housed in the historic Alwyn Court Building on Manhattan’s West Side, one block from Carnegie Hall and four blocks from Lincoln Center. Owned by the Petrossians, it serves a French-influenced contemporary menu that features the caviar, smoked fish, and foie gras delicacies for which Petrossian is known throughout the world. Lunch, dinner, and brunch can be enjoyed at either the art deco style mirrored bar or in the dining room. Designed by Ion Oroveanu, the restaurant features Lalique crystal wall sconces, bronze sculptures from the 1930’s, etched Erte mirrors, Limoges china, Lanvin chandelier and pink Finnish granite, all harmonizing to create a visual ambiance that can be savored equally with the unsurpassed gourmet experience.(source)

“Intr-o seara deosebita, in compania unor personaje discrete dar cu o stralucire aparte, am avut ocazia sa cunosc un OM cu un simt al umorului elaborat si zambet subtil. Mai tarziu am aflat cine este…Ion Oroveanu. Acum suntem prieteni si incercam impreuna sa transpunem in scena online povestea vietii lui.”

Second Hand - un film de Dan Pita

Evenimentul artistico-monden a avut loc la luxosul cinematograf Pro al “imperiului” Pro. Mai exact, pe locul ocupat candva de cinematograful “Luceafarul” (o sala frecventata in ultimii ani 80, de o lume pestrita si galagioasa, care radea, si cand trebuia si cand nu, care vocifera in toate felurile, scuipand cu voiosie cojile de seminte de floarea soarelui pe “dusumeaua” oricum doar vag maturata). Acum, locul arata ca la Paris. Fotoliile comode sunt imbracate in plastic moale, ca pielea de caprioara, in vreme ce treptele luminate de becuri mici si eficiente sunt invelite in plus visiniu. Aerul conditionat functioneaza impecabil, difuzand silentios un fel de briza de munte… Aparatura este de ultimul tip, sunetul de hi-fi… Ce-i drept, preturile sunt tot ca la Paris, asa incat printre cinefili diferentele sociale sunt (vor fi) foarte evidente. Pe scurt, un cinema intrat inca de pe acum in Europa. Un alt semn – dupa Mall si cinema Cotroceni – un semn binevenit ca, iata, si in domeniul salilor de cinema se “misca ceva”!

Fiul cel mic al Craiului, cam prostut si cam fricos, viseaza gloria lui Fat-Frumos din basmul lui Creanga si hotaraste sa refaca traiectoria destinului eroului indragit. Numai ca se loveste de tot felul de aventuri. E ademenit si el de Span si pentru ca incalca sfaturile parintesti, devine din craisor, sluga. Spanul impostor si malefic ii fura rangul si-l trimite dupa fata vrajitorului vecin, pentru a o lua de sotie. Tanarul porneste intr-o lunga calatorie de initiere si se infrateste pe drum cu cinci personaje, dotate cu insusiri miraculoase. Acestia il vor ajuta sa treaca toate probele. Apoi il pedepseste pe Span si se intoarce biruitor si cu o mireasa isteata si frumoasa. Cascada de ironii, porecle, pildele si expresiile de duh din carte coboara pe celuloid, in dialogul savuros al personajelor…. Totul e bine ca se sfarseste cu bine si cu o nunta ca-n povesti….
