Breakfast at Loews RegencyThe Power Breakfast originated at Loews Regency Hotel more than 30 years ago.
It started informally during the NYC Fiscal Crisis in the 1970s, when Loews Corporation Co-Chairman and Co-CEO, Bob Tisch, began inviting leaders from the public and private sectors to find a way to help the city recover.
Tisch coined the phrase Power Breakfast and forever changed how business was done.
In the morning, business people found they could hold one or two meetings- maybe even close a deal - before even getting into the office.
Today, the hotel's restaurant is still considered the place to do business over breakfast - attracting leaders in business, politics, media, fashion and entertainment- every business day from 7am-10am.
Jim, Jon, and Andrew can be seen at breakfast very frequently carrying on Bob Tisch's legacy.

Don't Be Fooled

The fraudster will send a check to the victim who has accepted a job. The check can be for multiple reasons such as signing bonus, supplies, etc. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check and use the money for any of these reasons and then instructed to send the remaining funds to the fraudster. The check will bounce and the victim is left responsible.
