Our next Camp Fund affair will be held at Wells
Music Bar, 2249 Seventh Avenue, on Monday, April
22. Guest hostess for the evening will be Sophie
Bryant of the Palm Cafe.
Drive-In Hotel
The first hotel erected in New York City in al
most 30 years w*as the Drive-In Hotel, which opened
in 1960 at 153rd Street and McCombs Place. Since
then, the management has constantly endeavored toj
provide its guests with the best services possible.
Ralph Zanders, the manager, recently installed a
Guest Dial Telephone System, which is controlled by
the Telephone Company’s newest table-top, push-but-;
ton type switchboard. Every room is equipped with!
a dial telephone, which permits guests to dial all
local and intra-house calls directly without operator
assistance. This is the first installation of its kind
in upper Manhattan and provides guests with thej
most modem communications arrangement avail
able.
In conjunction with the above improvement, Mr.
Zanders announced the opening of the El Toro Cock
tail Lounge and Restaurant. This beautiful lounge
(designed by a noted hotel interior designer) Is open
daily from 8:30 a m., and the public is invited. The
chef, Colin Patterson- (who is quite a culinary artist),
has wo.ked at most of the leading resort hotels and
serves t’elicious food.
The Bell, Cook and Candle, located at Amsterdam
Avenue & 158th Street, is a bar that is done with
great taste, combining beautiful things of the past
with those of today. It’s a very handsome place and
well managed.
