Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. has told the New York Public Library that it is unable to complete the purchase of the Donnell branch in Midtown for $59 million, the library said Monday. “We are now evaluating various alternatives to ensure that Orient Express honors its commitment to the library,” said Herb Scher, a library spokesman. Under the original agreement, announced in November 2007, the five-story building on West 53rd Street was to be replaced by an 11-story hotel. The library would own and occupy space on the first floor and underground. NYTimes blog and story.

Two Rhode Island restaurants, Cathay Cathay and Gourmet India, are fighting over the right to serve rice. Start with one businessman's willingness to pay dearly to avoid competition, mix in the other's insistence on preserving his own culinary tradition, and add a decision by the Rhode Island Supreme Court to keep the pot boiling for almost four years with hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. On one side is Cathay Cathay, whose owner, David Chu, pays a premium for the exclusive right to sell certain dishes--$35,000 a month compared to the $14,000 the mall charges Gourmet India. Yogi Sood, owner of Gourmet India, negotiated a lease allowing him to serve basmati rice. Chu sued. Sood won. The high court has ordered a new trial, saying the lower court judge did not adequately address whether Sood's lease improperly interferes with Chu's contract. The food court is also home to Taco Bell, which serves side dishes of Mexican-style white rice. Yet Chu, who also wants to recover legal fees that he says exceed $250,000, never took aim at that chain. The difference, he says, comes in Gourmet India's proximity to Cathay Cathay and its menu of Asian food served with white rice.
