Tavern On The Green To Become More Touristy, Slightly Less Of A Trap

Tavern On The Green’s new life: a snack bar/gift shop/visitor center. I can’t help but wonder if having an episode of Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica shot there during that sorta-reality show’s mid-’00s heyday was something of a hex on the place. Although is being a front for maps really all that worse than being saved by the glob of ego and hair-replacement products that is Donald Trump? (“It really is a special place. Only a person with a lot of money can rebuild and resurrect Tavern. And I have a lot of money,” The Donald told the Times.) [Via / Pic via]
