From the Observer:
The home was purchased by Jonathan and Candice Wainwright, who paid $5.9 million, according to city records. Mr. Wainwright is a senior [counsel] at Cadwalder and his son [Jonathan Wainwright Jr. aka Jay Wainwright] happens to be the founder of Cosi, the office worker-clogged sandwich shops. Life is delicious indeed.

But it seems that Jay Wainwright, who founded Cosi with his brother Shep Wainwright, is no longer running the company. He was forced out of Cosi a few years ago, receiving severance of less than $54,000 (which seems like modest dough considering the ubiquitousness of the high-end sandwich chain).

His father’s professional perch seems more secure. Jonathan Wainwright Sr. has been with Cadwalader since 1968; he used to be a partner and now serves as senior counsel.
