"The original brass plaque that reads “Restaurant Le Veau d’Or,” with a brass calf’s head mounted over the name, has been stolen on the Upper East Side outside of the city’s oldest French bistro, open since 1937. Chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson took over the restaurant over the summer from the original owners. (It’s been well reviewed so far.) A spokesperson says the sign was stolen from the exterior of the building near the entrance in broad daylight yesterday. A police report has been filed; there are no suspects yet, though there is camera footage. “Any help or info that leads to its return is appreciated,” it reads." - Melissa McCart
