L
e Veau d���Or restaurant, a small French bistro on
60th Street between Park and Lexington, has been a
New York institution since 1937, celebrating 75 years
in 2012, an incredible run in New York restaurant history. In the 1950s and 60s reservations were at a premium with notables of the era regularly dining beneath
its characteristic French paneling, mirrors, murals and
paintings. In an era long before Doubles and Studio 54,
New Yorkers dined at Le Veau d���Or before making their
appearance at El Morocco or at Serge Obolensky���s brilliant roof garden at the St. Regis.
Oleg Cassini fell in love with Grace Kelly at Le Veau d���Or.
Truman Capote was a regular. Orson Welles perenniHYLAND
