Preview party for David Burke’s Fabrick abruptly canceled

A media preview party for David Burke’s new restaurant Fabrick at the Archer Hotel was canceled Wednesday, less than an hour before it was schedule to begin, due to “circumstances out of [their] control.”

“Please forgive this last-minute notice,” reads an e-mail from the rep. “The restaurant was scheduled to receive final clearance today for its occupancy certificate, but due to an oversight in the inspection process, we have just been informed that we are not permitted to open and receive guests this evening.”

The restaurant insists Burke, who mysteriously stepped down from day-to-day operations of his restaurants earlier this month, was scheduled to attend and isn’t the reason for the delay.

The event has been rescheduled for next Thursday, June 5.
