Dine like it's 1950
Tuesday, July 5th, Marion's Continental Restaurant & Lounge, on the Bowery in New York City, celebrates it's dual anniversary by rolling back the prices on it's menu to 1950. Imagine chicken for $1.75 or steak for $2.25.
(PRWEB) June 17, 2005 -- Last year
Marion's began a new tradition by honoring its anniversary by creating a menu
that represents the original menus of the original marion's that opened in
1950.
The first
Marion's was opened 55 years ago on the Bowery in New York City
by Marion Nagy. Ms. Nagy was an Hungarian refugee who arrived in New York via Paris
in the late 1940s. Fleeing communist Hungary after World War II, she became a
model in Paris
and subsequently in New York. There she was encouraged to open
a supper club which she did in 1950. She hosted many celebraties during the
twenty three years at Marion's until 1973. When she retired to the Jersey Shore
with her husband and three children.
In 1990, Marion's son Richard Bach
and his partner Michael Howett reopened Marion's in it's original spot on the
Bowery. Their aim was to bring back that era of dining as
entertainment.
This year,
Marion's celebrates it's dual anniversary of 55 years of the original and 15
years of the reincarnated restaurant. The food
prices and choices match what the original Marion's was serving in
1950.
Because of the hoopla of last year,
the restaurant is forced to impose some rules. First,
they will not be taking reservations and it will be first
come first
served. Second,
there will be no doggie bags or take out permitted and the clientele will be
limited to ordering one appetizer, one entree and one dessert per person.
The 1950s prices are for the food
portion of the meal and does not include beverages, wine and their famously
fabulous cocktails.
Tuesday, July 5th from 5:30 until 11pm
no
reservations taken
