Apparently the name originally given for the forthcoming rooftop at the Hotel Lincoln was missing an initial. What was initially reported to be The Parker is actually going to be called The J. Parker, named for John Parker, the cop who snuck out for a drink instead of standing outside Abraham Lincoln's box at the Ford Theater the night he was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Watch for The J. Parker, with bites by Perennial Virant, to open around June 1. [Grub Street]
