THE ELITE CAFE, the bustling Art Deco period piece at 2049 Fillmore Street, has been sold.
Peter Snyderman, a Fillmore veteran who has run the restaurant for the past decade, is handing over the reins to a new group headed by Andy Chun, who created the Press Club near Union Square and more recently reinvigorated Schroeder’s in the Financial District. Among the investors is Rick Howard, who owns Harry’s on Fillmore.
The liquor license transfer was filed March 9. The Elite’s staff was told the night before that March 27 will be their last day.
