The Round Table's round numbers

From the Rocky Mountain News via the NY Post (they say; I can't find the link):


ON THE BLOCK: The Denver real estate investment firm Miller Global Properties has put New York City's famed Algonquin Hotel up for sale, according to an item in the New York Post. Miller Global, headed by Myron "Micky" Miller, one-time partner of former Denver oilman Marvin Davis, is asking "in the neighborhood of $60 million to $70 million," according to the Post.

The Algonquin was the home of the historic round table that hosted the likes of Dorothy Parker, George S. Kaufman and Robert Benchley.

A phone call to Miller Global was not returned on Monday.
