I've received a few cool comments about this postcard over at the NYCDreamin Archives...
"OMG! I remember this place. I was taken here for my 14th birthday and felt sooo grown up! On the top photo you can see the little bridge you walked over when entering. I felt like a fairy princess going into her castle. Too bad they don't create places like this anymore."(Molly806)
"My dad worked here as a waiter/bartender in the 60s through the 70s. It was my first impression of the Big City (being a kid from the Bronx). He still tells outrageous stories of the goings-on, including those of the celebrities of the day who stayed in the hotel Alrae upstairs. He once brought room service up to Mia Farrows. He was so nervous (she was at the height of her fame then, late 1960s) the entire roast duck slipped off his serving platter onto the bare tablecloth. Don't know if she tipped." (m_acev)
