What’s On My Desk: Tunu Puri Of Lippi And Zuma

Tunu Puri has been a busy man this month, with opening of Brickell’s new hotspot, Lippi, a New American restaurant that was influenced by his travels. Puri is a partner in and president of Zuma Miami and Coya, a South American concept in London that is one of the city’s most buzzed-about restaurants that Puri plans to bring to Miami next summer. But Puri hasn’t always been in the restaurant business, most of his career was spent running a successful women’s apparel company and working for Ernst & Young. Here is what is on his desk.
