Garden of Ono Lives
Don't call it a comeback, but according to a Little Birdy, "Matt Shendell of Paige Management Group has joined forces with China Grill Management to bring the Garden of ONO back to life as premiere happy hour and weekend destination." We guess this means that the rumored collaboration between Iron Mike Satsky and China Grill never materialized, and that Chodorow and Shendell will look to fill this place with visitors, tourists and weekend warriors who head over to the MePa looking for some action and can't get into 675 Bar. Good times all around.

great, murray hill is taking over the meatpacking, put a fork in the meat-packing, its done.
this is false! i work at Ono, this is a lie. garden is in shut down mode.
Perhaps this will be as successful as Shendell's lounge Honey is on 14th Street.
Oh wait... he declared bankruptcy already.
Let the jackass' have their one area to hang as long as they stay away from NIAGRA!
If im not at butter, Im down at 1 oak
They wont have ONO to hang at because this is a FALSE Rumor LOL. Call the place and find out...
murry hill is invading the mepa LOLOL the mepa is a horrible area to be in, it gives me anxiety just being there.
matt schendell already sold honey. it is still open/failing as we speak, just new owners.
I called and they said the garden is opening this friday! maybe it is true
wow.. i heard this rumor too.. I am so excited becuase this means that i ahve a place to go during the week besides DUNE..
who cares. this place has the worst service ever.
Sounds like a lame attempt at some cheap press for Dune. Perhaps Shendell is concerned about the bottle service clientele this upcoming summer and is reminding people that his overpriced rathole in Southampton is still open for business.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT...I WORK THERE!!
-Shendell owns DUNE with Noah Teppeberg
-Satskys deal is going thru in the fall
-HONEY was sold after 3 years
-Shendells deal is just for this summer while they finalize Satskys deal
I think it will be a great summer there, as Shendell will run the place right.
Everyone CALM DOWN!!
The garden is opening this Saturday and Shendell takes over May 1 thru Sept. I work at the Gansvort and confirmed this today.
Satsky is a disaster so why would he ever land this deal! Anyone is better. And evvery club in the hamtpons is a rathole...not just DUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys,
This rumor is true. I have just signed a deal with Shendell for Ono Garden 2009.
Yours Truly,
David Jaffee
What kind of deal did you sign?
who cares!!! as long as the garden is open--- it's a great space and im not sure it will be fine
I called and they said the garden is opening Saturday.
Everyone needs to get a life! Who cares? Shendell is a nice normal guy who's done well for himself, and he's been around for years. Satsky is a diff crowd and person all together. But stop hating on both! And I saw them getting the garden ready yesterday while walking past gansvort, so I assume this rumor is true
IF DAVID JAFFEE SETS FOOT IN THE GARDEN HE WILL BE TAKEN OUT BACK AND BEATEN WITH A HOSE.
TOODLES!
MGT
Ono Garden's service is TERRIBLE. If Jaffee is there, this place is DOOMED!!
the garden is open sat, as i have a dinner reservation there!!! Lets all be happy its open!
wow.. what ever is true or not this is great.. if the guys who own DUNE are involved even if just for the summer it is a guarenteed good time.. so lets stop the fighting and all enjoy the summer and this amazing weather we are supposed to have..
Why did you guys take down the post about Noah's new place? Because you are afraid of the Jewish Mafia coming to sue you or something?
If DUNE is so fun then why does no one go there anymore but murry hill and guido's LOL. great time. Ha! so wack when the people themselves post things about themself!
Ono is nice spot with overpriced drinks and terrible service. Matt may own DUNE but, Noah is the BOSS. This ain't gonna be a Noah spot.
Put your ear to the ground DBTH. Maybe look into who is going to be involved in Hudson Terrace. Sounds to me like that is going to be the spot for the summer.
Please don't tell me that the losers from Hudson terrace are going to start shilling on here also. If i want to see nonsense about any of there spaces just go to city search. PLEASE don't let them clog up Evey sight with FAKE reviews and announcements about how great all there spaces are. What would be great would be to to hear from any of the 9,450 investors that all believe they own 20% of there spaces. lol that would be interesting.
I swear Im waiting to find out Bernie Madoff is one of the partners!
dune was the worst club in the hamptons in '08... period.... fridays at pink saturdays at lily pond all the way... this year may be different but time will tell... as far as ono garden, who cares? no one went there anyway...
