- December 23, 2009 12:28
Famed Central Park restaurant Tavern on the Green, with its six elaborate dining rooms and 10 miles of white Christmas lights wrapping trees out front, will sadly twinkle no longer. Est. in 1934, the landmark is closing its doors on Dec. 31, when its operating license expires. January 13-14, Guernsey's Auction House will sell many decorative items from the 25,000-square-foot restaurant, including antique Tiffany glass lampshades, art nouveau mirrors, Venetian glass, and Baccarat crystal chandeliers.
