DANIELA TRATTORIA, SAYING GOOD-BYE
AFTER NEARLY 28 YEARS WE HAVE MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO CLOSE DANIELA’S FOR GOOD. WE HAVE SERVED NYC, TIMES SQUARE AND THE THEATER DISTRICT FOR A LONG TIME. WE WERE HERE FOR THE GOOD TIMES. WE WERE HERE THROUGH 9/11 AND COVID. WE HAVE MADE MANY FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY. WE WILL MISS ALL OF YOU. WE WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS, WHETHER YOU STOPPED IN ONCE, CAME WHENEVER YOU WENT TO SEE A SHOW, OR WERE HERE EVERY WEEK. EVERY ONE OF YOU ADDED TO OUR STORY, TO OUR LIVES. YOU MADE DANIELA’S A FIXTURE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
TO OUR STAFF, OUR EXTENDED FAMILY. IN THIS BUSINESS FINDING GOOD WORKERS IS VERY DIFFICULT. IT IS A VERY DEMANDING PROFESSION THAT REQUIRES AN ABSOLUTE PASSION. YET SOMEHOW WE MANAGED TO HAVE THE MOST LOYAL AND DEDICATED STAFF AROUND. 60% OF YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10 YEARS AND 22 YEARS. THAT IS UNHEARD OF IN THIS BUSINESS. YOU WILL FOREVER BE A PART OF OUR FAMILY.
THIS WAS NOT AN EASY CHOICE AND NOT ONE MADE IN HASTE. AS SAD AS IT IS TO SAY GOOD BYE, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SPENDING MORE TIME WITH FAMILY AND SEEING WHAT LIFE HAS IN STORE FOR US.
FROM MYSELF, MY WIFE DANIELA, MY FAMILY AND THE ENTIRE DANIELA TRATTORIA FAMILY WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU AND GOOD BYE.
THANK YOU
CHRIS & DANIELA LAMOTTA
