Did Gapers Block Get Ripped Off by a NYC Restaurant?

Grub Street New York notes that Talking Points Memo associate editor Al Shaw has called out fancypants chef Daniel Boloud for possibly “borrowing” the logo for his latest restaurant, DBGB, from Gapers Block. We agree with our Big Apple siblings that this is basically no big deal — just a case of two “GB”s both made with Gotham Nights. Gapers Block editor-in-chief Andrew Huff’s not too worked up about it, either: “If we were the inspiration for DBGB’s logo, we’re certainly honored,” he told us. “But I don’t think it’s anything to get worked up over. A restaurant in New York isn’t going to harm the business of a website in Chicago because it used the same font in its logo.” [Grub Street New York]
