The spat seems a bit overblown-permitting delays?-but the New York Post reported last week that billionaire financier Henry Kravis, a Del Posto investor, is trying to negotiate a settlement with the landlord. For their part, Batali and Joseph Bastianich have told reporters they hope to be at their corner of 16th Street and Tenth Avenue for the duration of their 25-year lease.
