Pietro's finds new home blocks away from longtime spot
After four decades in one spot, Pietro's steakhouse is on the move — but loyal customers won't have to travel far to find its new home. After serving up steaks in one location for 40 years, Pietro's is moving a few blocks up the street in June. Founded in 1932, the restaurant had been located at 232 E. 43rd St. for around 40 years. The Italian-style steakhouse closed last year, however, because the building it was housed in was sold for a residential conversion, according to a representative of Lee & Associates NYC. Now Pietro's will be in an approximately 5,100-square-foot space at 890 Second Ave. that includes around 3,600 square feet on the ground floor and 1,500 square feet of lower-level space. The lease is for 15 years. Lee & Associates NYC's Cory Gahr represented Pietro's on the deal. The landlord, Stellar Management, was represented by Cushman & Wakefield's Sean Moran and Patrick O'Rourke. 'Pietro's is a multigenerational dining institution,' Gahr said in a statement. 'Seeking a turnkey space near its previous location on 43rd Street, Pietro's aimed to continue serving its loyal customer base.' The new location at 890 Second Ave. offers 'both convenience and strategic positioning for the restaurant's continued success,' he added. 'Situated just blocks from the United Nations and surrounded by a vibrant mix of businesses, residences and landmarks, this prime location offers unparalleled visibility and access to a diverse, dynamic community,' Jeremy Campbell, general counsel of Stellar Management, said in the statement.

Scoop: Backers of Vivek Ramaswamy see big lead
Vivek Ramaswamy, who is expected to announce for Ohio governor in mid-February, is over 50% among Republican primary voters and leads his nearest competitor by 34 points, according to a poll by a pro-Ramaswamy outside group. Why it matters: After leaving as co-leader of President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, the biotech entrepreneur and 2024 presidential primary candidate is plunging into the politics of his native state. Behind the scenes: Ramaswamy, 39, has brought on key members of the political operation of Vice President JD Vance, formerly a U.S. senator from Ohio, to run his campaign and super PAC — Tony Fabrizio (Trump's pollster), Andy Surabian and Jai Chabria. "Not only does this signal that Vance is on board behind the scenes with Vivek's run, but Vivek is already winning endorsements from influential pro-Trump senators Rick Scott [R-Fla.] before even announcing," a source familiar with the operation told Axios. What they're saying: The poll by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates "makes it clear that Vivek is the unquestioned favorite to not only win this primary, but to dominate it," the source added. "Since news about his run began leaking, there's been an avalanche of interest from donors wanting to raise money for his run, and big-name political figures offering to endorse."
