THE APPEAL OF DAMON RUNYON, the New York storyteller, newspaperman and sportswriter came from his mastery, but also invention, of 1920s American slang – a mixture of the ‘louche and the lugubrious’ according to the New Yorker magazine. He would go to Lindy’s, an all-night Jewish deli on Broadway that became Mindy’s in his stories, and listen.Runyon married a down-on-her-luck Spanish countess from Madrid, 26 years his younger, who turned out to be an up-on-her-heels Mexican dancer from Tampico. When he died his ashes were taken up in a plane and sprinkled all over New York.

    We took our two sons and their girlfriends to celebrate my 50th birthday! We had a wonderful evening,our sons had taken a birthday cake (which was a suprise) and when they brought it out the staff also sang 'happy birthday' which was lovely! The decor etc was wonderful and it was nice to sit on the comfy sofas having a cocktail before we were shown to our table. We will definately be back!
