Perricone’s Closing Its Brickell Location Friday

Steven J. Perricone opened his restaurant in a Brickell that was vastly different than it is today. The New York-born restaurateur and nightclub owner opened the restaurant 22 years ago with a feeling that the mostly residential community would grow. “I always had an affinity for emerging areas. I was in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood in the early 80’s and South Beach in 1989. I kinda felt it had a future.”
