When the annals of developer-led neighborhood “revitalization” are written — and what annals they’ll be — the Rockefeller Center chapter will be a meaty one. New York history and New York amnesia meet there (and who were more megadevelopers than the Standard Oil, Chase Manhattan Rockefellers?).

At nine o’clock this past Sunday, K-pop melodies and blue Hawaiian highballs filled the dining room at Izakaya Seasun in Nomad. A quoted 60-minute wait became 30 minutes, spent in a lobby with a kitschy fake hot spring puffing clouds from a fog machine and cartoon cats posing with beer and sake on a backlit banner.
