Last Orders for New York's Tavern on the Green
The restaurant, opened in 1934 in Central Park at the height of the Great Depression, is bowing to modern economic pressures with the decision to close January 1 due to bankruptcy.
But fans of the Tavern, where John Lennon used to drop by and play the piano, won't be entirely starved: the over-the-top interior is being stripped out and put on the auction block January 13-15.
Baccarat chandeliers, Tiffany stained-glass murals, mirrors, copper weathervanes, silver candelabras, and place settings are among the items listed for sale.
On Tuesday, almost 1,000 people were taking a last chance to lunch at the Tavern despite freezing temperatures and wind sweeping the west side of Manhattan's famed park near 67th Street.
Inside, visitors of all ages and nationalities, both locals and tourists, wandered about gazing at the maze of themed areas, like the "Crystal Room."
Sandy McKelvy from Knoxville, Tennessee said she was returning after a visit a decade ago that had left a lasting impression.
"It was summer and they had a wedding in the 'Gazebo,' I was so impressed... Too bad that they have to close."
Hostess Carly Martinez said there were 830 lunch reservations and 1,300 for dinner. The final New Year's Eve party is sold out at 126 dollars a person, not including drinks, taxes or service charge.
