The Big Picture
Caffè Panna is owned and run by its founder, Hallie Meyer, who personally signed the Gramercy lease in 2019, with no investor or outside financing on record. Restaurateur Danny Meyer, the founder's parent, has said the role here was limited to advice, and Caffè Panna appears nowhere in the portfolio of Danny Meyer's investment fund. Two NYC shops, one owner, a thin labor and environmental record so far.
