In Midtown, the Art doesn't stop at the Museum gate...
‘Oh there’s none so rare as can compare…”
…with the inimitable Maxfield Parrish, and on East 55th Street there resides, in the eponymous room at the St. Regis Hotel, his mural rendering “Old King Cole.” It was in the King Cole room that the Bloody Mary, here dubbed a “Red Snapper,” made it’s American debut. Perfect place to treat your eyes with a truly wonderful and subtly humorous painting, your taste buds with a cocktail and some exceptional bar munchies, and your psyche with the feeling that your are touching a bit of NYC history.
If you have worked up your appetite cruising the nearby MoMA, you may want to cross the street to Murals on 54. The historical Dean Cornwell works for which the restaurant is named were commissioned in the 1930’s by William Randolph Hearst for the Raleigh Room of his Warwick Hotel. At completion a dispute over compensation resulted in Cornwell adding images to the work that were at the time considered obscene. Even when a settlement was reached, only some were painted out. Searching for the rest may be the perfect diversion while enjoying the versatile and moderately-priced Continental menu and enticing selection of wines by the glass, in the fresh, modern setting.
