Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope you are all ringing in the new decade in style this evening. Yesterday I found out that one of New York and even America's most iconic establishments will be closing its doors for good after the clock strikes midnight. I remember my first dinner at the tavern when I was 5 yrs old. Mummy had taken me into the city for some christmas shopping and to sick the Rockettes. Even though I was sick as a dog with pneumonia I refused to sit this trip out. For dinner mummy took me to Tavern on the Green and I was totally blown away. This was the most magical place I had ever been (at 5) the lights the park the buzz of the city and being all dressed up having a grown up dinner was the highlight of the holiday season. Farewell Tavern, although you will be gone may your magic live in the hearts of all that enjoyed it. Here's to a Happy 2010 everyone see ya next year!
A very happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteHave really enjoyed your blog, look forward to your posts in 2010!
Yes, it is incredibly sad.
ReplyDeleteI blogged about this yesterday as well! While we say goodbye to the old (once we get over the shock of losing a piece of Americana) we should embrace the new. You see I haven't been to ToG in ages, but word has it that it was quite a bit run down and tattered. The new owner also owns the restaurant at The Duck Basin. So there is hope yet! Wonder if anyone will fork over a cool 18 mil for the ToG name?!

ReplyDeleteI know! I was so upset to learn about this! Ever since I was a little girl my parents have taken me to the Tavern. I'll miss that family tradition!
