Lunch at Tavern on the Green in Central Park

I stand near the Tavern on the
Green sign on Central Park
 West & wonder why
 Sheep decorate the sign.

Beautiful flowers line the

entry to the restaurant.

The Gift Shop is on the left,

as guests arrive.

The bouquet of flowers

is immense.

Built in the 1860s as a shelter for sheep that grazed in Central Park, the building was redesigned as a restaurant during the 1934 renovation of the Park.

While being seated, I told the Hostess that our 40th Anniversary was a few weeks ago.

Tavern on the Green was used as a location in the 1984 Ghostbusters movie.  Louis Tully appeared at the Glass Wall behind us as he was running from Vinz Clortho.  He was desperately trying to find a way inside to escape the ferocious demi-god pursuing him.  

Here's a clip of the scene....

Our Appetizers are the
Day's Special Offerings:

Eric's Creamy Potato
Leek Soup

My Crab Cake with
Scallops

We both chose the Cobb Salad

as our Main Course.

Our Server surprised us with
a Belated Happy Anniversary
Dessert, Funfetti Cake with
Ice Cream.

Our Appetizers and Cobb Salads were delicious.  They were carefully prepared and beautifully presented.  The complimentary dessert made a lovely lunch unforgettable.

Thank you, Tavern on the Green, for making our lunch a special event.
