Restaurant Business

Multiconcept group In Good Company Hospitality, with 18 venues, mostly in New York, has temporarily transformed the restaurant El Lugar into The Matchbox, with turf, games and a 136-inch screen.  Some of the programming is also being applied to sister venues, but Matchbox, which is in a hotel, aims to be a World Cup hub. Founder Terence Tubridy estimates he has invested roughly $75,000 to $100,000 for the space and audio/visual equipment.
