Michael White to take over The Bedford Post Inn

In December, we asked restaurateur Michael White if he was interested in taking over The Bedford Post Inn after being spotted at the Westchester spot owned by Richard Gere.

He told us he was focused on his own restaurants, including Costata and Marea.

Gere’s partner Russell Hernandez said there was absolutely no truth to rumors that the property was up for sale, adding, “If someone wanted to offer a billion dollars then of course they would take it under consideration.”

But Gere then confirmed to Web site Eater on Tuesday that White is indeed taking over the event space and restaurant on his property, and will reopen it under a new name. Gere and Hernandez will still manage the inn and yoga studio.
