16 Years and Counting, Marion's Celebrates with 1950s Prices

Marion's Continental Restaurant & Lounge has been on the Bowery, at least in this incarnation, for 16 years this July. Our anniversary has become a downtown tradition where we roll back to the prices to the early 50s. Marion Nagy opened the original Marion's in 1950 and her son Richard reopened it with his partner in 1990.

(PRWEB) June 15, 2006 -- Marion's famous Steak au Poivre was $2.25 in 1950 and that was pricey. Every Year at the reincarnated Marion's the prices get rolled back for one day only, July 5th.

Traditionally the deadliest day in the restaurant business but because it just happens to be Marion's anniversary it is the restaurants busiest nights. Could it be those 1950s prices? You bet.

Dishes go from a low of 95 cents to an exorbinate high of $2.25 for that one night only. Of course the famous Marion's cocktails stay at 21st Century prices.

There is a catch. Actually a few. First, there are no reservations, just first come first served. Second, no doggie bags. Third, no take out and no delivery. Fourth, one appetizer, one entree and one dessert per person. Still an extraordinary deal.

Marion's likes to give back to her loyal going on 16 year customers in this special way.

When: Wednesday, July 5th from 5:30 until the food runs out. (usually around 11pm)

Where: Marion's Continental Restaurant & Lounge
354 Bowery between Great Jones and east 4th Streets
