The Astor Room

Editorial Review

Kaufman Astoria Studios hosts supperclub scene that harks back to the days when Rudolph Valentino and Mary Pickford chilled here. Formerly private Paramount space amazingly well-preserved, rocking marble staircase, mahogany bar, tile walls. Throws around old-time big money names like Rockefeller (as in the oysters), Wellington (as in beef), and Astor (inspiration for both a house cocktail and a house martini). Beaver Bar comes complete with taxidermied critter, bespoke 'tails.
