Ken Friedman’s White Gold Owes Nearly $60K in Rent Money, Landlord Notice Says | Eater NY

"At 375 Amsterdam Ave. at 78th Street, I noticed the former White Gold Butchers space has a landlord notice taped to the property saying it owes $58,965.90 — nearly $60,000 — including unpaid rent for July and August, late fees, legal fees, and more than $25,000 per month in rent, and giving guarantors Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield three days to pay before eviction proceedings begin. I learned that Friedman and Bloomfield opened White Gold together in October 2016 but split in June after allegations of sexual misconduct left Friedman with the restaurant; it shuttered this month, though a note on the window promised a new restaurant with an “approach to healthy and sustainable eating.” Despite Bloomfield’s public disassociation, she is still named on the landlord’s notice; the listed tenant is 375 Amsterdam Avenue Restaurant LLC, and while Erika Nakamura and Jocelyn Guest were publicly partners who also split earlier this year, a spokesperson for them said they were not on the lease. Friedman, Bloomfield, and property manager Brusco Group declined to comment." - Serena Dai
