About the Program:
You are invited to the Art Deco Society of New York's special holiday program and champagne reception!
As 2019 comes to a close, this engaging illustrated talk will be our final celebration of the 80th anniversary year of the 1939 New York World's Fair. In her engaging talk, Rebecca Federman will dive into how the French Pavilion at the Fair gave rise to high-end French haute cuisine in New York City and across the United States.
In this unique presentation, we will explore the roots of the esteemed French restaurant Le Pavillon and its connection to Le Restaurant du Pavillon de France, which was housed in the Fair's renowned Art Deco architectural gem, the French Pavilion. We will also learn of the restaurants' connection to the legendary French Art Deco oceanliner, the S.S. Normandie!
With food being such an important aspect of the Fair, even having guidebooks devoted to gastronomic tours of the grounds, it is no wonder France wanted to give New Yorker's an authentic Parisian culinary experience of the finest class.
This exciting talk will go on to explore how:
- World War II impacted the development of Le Pavillon
- The restaurant gained landmark status as one of the most famous French restaurants in New York City
- Le Pavillon influenced New York City cuisine throughout the rest of the twentieth century––fostering the establishment of 13 renowned French restaurants such as La Côte Basque, Le Périgord, and La Caravelle––and even impacted the twenty-first century
Following the talk there will be a festive holiday dessert reception featuring Cuvée Brut Art Deco from Champagne Collet and light bites.
Additionally, as our holiday gift to you, all attendees will receive the Winter 2019 issue of the ADSNY's Art Deco New York journal, which will be released at this program!
