The legendary Rainbow Room, located in the Rockefeller Center has become another victim of the current recession. The Rainbow Room operators have been given eviction papers. The Rockefeller Center's owners plan to end the Cipriani family's lease for the glitzy restaurant with its revolving dance floor because of unpaid back rent.
Earlier this month the Cipriani family announced they would close the Rainbow Grill but plan to continue with the bar, banquet space and the weekend dinner-dancing sessions on the 65th floor.

Cipriani has filed a lawsuit against the landlords in an attempt to prevent the eviction.
