Hard bop jazz fills the air as you lean onto a table dressed with a freshly pressed white linen while sipping on your horseradish martini. The scent of aged beef grilled in the overfired broiler like it’s 1959 entrances you as it’s placed onto your table alongside a plate of chanterelle blintzes, French fries, and a karnatzel.

You watch enviously as the pastrami is pulled from the smoker before being hand cut and served to the table next to you simply with mustard and some pickles.

The night ends with a piece of warm babka, glass of wine and a reminder of what life was like when cars were made by hand, jell-o cakes were in vogue and rotary phones were the gold standard.
