The Four Seasons was a New American cuisine restaurant in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City from 1959 to 2019. The Four Seasons operated within the Seagram Building at 99 East 52nd Street for most of its existence, though it relocated to 42 East 49th Street in its final year of operation. The restaurant was themed around the seasons of the year, with menus, decorations, and vegetation that changed every three months. It attracted numerous high-profile personalities and often hosted "power lunches". Despite mixed commentary of the restaurant's food, the Four Seasons was highly popular, winning the James Beard Award many times.

The Four Seasons was created in order to fill a vacant space next to the Seagram Building's lobby. Originally operated by Restaurant Associates, the Four Seasons opened on July 20, 1959, and soon became a popular luxury restaurant. Following a downturn in patronage in 1973, Tom Margittai and Paul Kovi acquired the Four Seasons, which subsequently became known for its power lunches. In 1994, Margittai and Kovi passed operation of the restaurant to their junior partners, Alex von Bidder and Julian Niccolini, who operated the restaurant until the Seagram Building location closed in July 2016. After a two-year hiatus, von Bidder and Niccolini reopened the restaurant on 49th Street in August 2018, but the Four Seasons was unprofitable in its new location and closed permanently on June 11, 2019.

The interior of the original restaurant was primarily designed by Philip Johnson, who worked with several designers, including L. Garth and Ada Louise Huxtable. The interior consisted of two discrete spaces known as the Grill Room and the Pool Room, connected by a corridor, as well as a basement lobby on 52nd Street. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated these spaces as an interior landmark in 1989. The spaces had various plants and custom tableware and furniture. Art inside the restaurant included a permanent mural by James Rosenquist; a major Richard Lippold sculpture; a curtain designed by Pablo Picasso; and various temporary exhibitions. The restaurant attracted numerous celebrities, businessmen, and politicians including Anna Wintour, Henry Kissinger, Martha Stewart, Bill Clinton, George Lois, Bill Bernbach, and Jackie Kennedy.

Just buy them
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Small
Used to wear sliders all the time, figured i'd switch it up. These are super comfortable, probably the best material underwear I own. Great to just lounge around it or wear everyday. Fit is really good, I got a small and about 29-30" waist. Good bang for your buck too. I've washed them a handful of times and they hold up great, fit great and dont' shrink.

Good underwear. Husband likes them.
Color: Black, Size: Large
Husband wears XL and XL fit well. This is the second pack I got for him. They are decent quality, look and feel nice, not baggy yet not too tight anywhere. They are somewhat thin (but still supportive) and do not make him sweat more so he loves that. No problems washing (they didn’t shrink). Will continue to repurchase these.

Comfortable
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Medium
I have had a lifetime of different briefs, some name brand, some generic. I am 165 lbs, wear Medium, and these are closest to feeling commando of anything I’ve ever worn. Comfortable, not too tight waist and legs, and yes silky touch yet not slinky. Maybe not for support wear, but casual and cool comfort, the “Cat’s meow”. I just came on to order some more

Great fabric - pouch too small!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
First, the fabric used is wonderfully soft and comfortable. It;s the first thing noticed when package was opened. Strange, but the elastic waistband is about 1/2", very similar to a woman's style panty. But it's comfortable and easily acceptable. The main problem is that the pouch that holds your "stuff" in place, is oddly and unnaturally small. Small enough where this average man's "stuff" tends to fall out of the pouch on one side or the other. I sleep in my underwear, and every time I did with these, I awoke with the front pouch off to the side and everything down there was hanging outside of the underwear. They also seem to do well through a wash cycle. However, if the main reason for wearing underwear is to keep your stuff in place, these fail from the beginning. I ordered another brand from overseas, and they had the exact same problems as these! I wonder if that's just how they make them outside of the USA. The Bottom Line? Uncle Steve Disapproved!

Premium cotton underwear at a modest price. Highly recommend!
Color: Multicolora6-4 Pack, Size: X-Large
Bought my husband 2 variety packs of these, and they are still great over 2 years in. High quality cotton briefs are breathable, colors are vibrant, and the fit is spot on. A good value at this price point compared to designer brands, and the product overall exceeds expectations in terms of comfort level, durability and appearance.
