Last Supper For A Foodie Pioneer

Three regulars raised their glasses for a final toast to an institution that helped transform downtown New Havens upscale food scenebefore the scene even existed.

The toast took place Tuesday evening at Ibiza restaurant.

Doug Smith, Richard Formica, and Sanjay Kapoor (pictured), three Yale physicians, were the first customers seated at the High Street restaurant on Tuesday evening, Ibizas last night of operation

The doctors came as soon as they heard the news. Ibiza owner Sonia Blanco had sent out an email Tuesday afternoon announcing the restaurants abrupt closure and word spread fast among New Havens foodies.

Ibiza closed due to personal family problems and a dispute between the landlord and restaurant owners Sonia and Ignacio Blanco.

Ibiza, which serves upscale Spanish cuisine, was consistently listed among New Havens top restaurants. When it opened in 1996 as Pika Tapas, the restaurant was a pioneer of fancy food at a time when New Haven was known for its apizza but not for gourmet small-plate delicacies.

Shortly after the restaurant opened for its dinner service at 5 p.m. Tuesday, fans of the restaurant started coming in to say goodbye, to have a last drink or meal, and to ask why.

Sonia Blanco, who owned the restaurant with ex-husband Ignacio Blanco, said the landlord wanted more money and we couldnt really afford that.

He sent an eviction notice, she said.

They werent being evicted, said John Wareck, the landlord. He said he didnt raise the rent. There was a settlement after many months of them trying to meet their expenses. We were doing everything we could to accommodate them.

Rapper Common to take a turn on Broadway

James Earl Jones shot to fame as boxer Jack Jefferson in Howard Sacklers 1967 play The Great White Hope. Jones won the Tony and, two years later, was nominated for an Oscar in the film version.

Now it may be the rapper commonly known as Commons turn.

Common (the former Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr.) appeared in a reading the other week for a handful of producers and investors who are trying to get the play back in the ring, so to speak.

The reading went well, a source says, adding that Common was excellent.

The 41-year-old is eager to play the part and, Im told, has even offered to help finance the production.

But the bean counters are wary. The play has a cast of 25, and sources say a full-scale Broadway revival would cost nearly $4 million. Which means that, unless everybody agrees to work for scale (with a percentage of the profits thrown in if the productions a hit), Broadway is simply not realistic.

I think theyll have to hook up with one of the nonprofits, a source says. Its something the Roundabout could and should do. Its a lot more interesting than putting on Cabaret again.

It wasnt easy raising money for the original production. Despite the raves that greeted the premiere at Washington, DCs Arena Stage, backers were nowhere to be found. Sackler financed the show himself, using the $225,000 he earned from the sale of the play to Hollywood.

When the Broadway production took off, Sackler became a multimillionaire.

But he spent money as fast as he made it mainly on houses and cars and he never had another payday like The Great White Hope.
