New York’s hospitality industry can be downright forbidding to outsiders. In the best of times, it’s a blood sport, and now there’s a new player: the Reuben Brothers, an English property-and-investment empire that aims, according to principal Jamie Reuben, to become the “LVMH of real estate” and “re-invigorate the Upper East Side.” A) Does the Upper East Side need re-invigorating?
