I have always wanted to go to NYC and visit the fabulous,historic
Delmonico's.This is elegant,fine dining at its Best !!!
Inside Delmonico's - classic elegance:dark panelled
wainscotting;high ceilings -
the exqiusite plaster sculpting and carved moldings;chandeleirs give soft light,or turned down low for an intimate setting; the a white linen tablecloths and napkins;vibrant red accents contrast with soft luscious hues of reds and
creams in the carpeting juxtaposed with the white walls;the chinaware presented as art itself . . . All of this
nesteled in this grand,historic building . . .
all of this coming together for an
elegant,intimate experience. An atmosphere that is beyond belief . . . and Romantic!? Wow! The cuisine:
The steaks&chops,The flavor sensations,The Sauces
The salads,The Dressings,the farm-fresh ingredients for creative dishes;
Delmonico's set the bar by which the best of world class cusine . . . especially
steaks and chops are measured.The Famous Delmonico Steak ! ! !
I have heard of Delmonico's
frequently throughout my
years : especially the 1920s,30s,40s(my mom was there after the War)the 1950s&early 60s.Seeing Delmonico's portrayed in novels,the papers,
movies&tv and coming to life in your photos is most definitely food for the soul,no pun inended.The Duke&The Count. . .The Chairman Of The Board;
actors&actresses,writers; the people of all walks of life who have come through leaded window doors, . . . . from all over the world! I have dreamed and pictured in my mind of
what Delmonico's might look like.Your pictures surpassed
my wildest imaginations!
Man,it is so nice to know that True Class,Style and Respect for Tradition still
exist in this crazy world where seemingly everything has to be fast tracked . . . . .
hip;noveau riche.Give me peppers,sausige,spaghetti-marinara sauce with a Delmonico "double-cut" porterhouse steak anyday.
I am sure Danny Aiello's character in his movie, 'Dinner Rush', would agree with me.And,"That's the kind of hairpin I am."
Thank you for being with us through the centuries.
I hope to see you.
All Of The Best to you,
Delmonico's.
