Bemelmans Bar “Four walls of murals, once vibrant and now perfectly subdued by half a century of nicotine fumes, teem with characters you will immediately recognize unless you spent your childhood in a culvert. Ludwig Bemelmans, author, artist, and restaurateur, was best remembered as the creator of the Madeline books. In 1947 Bemelmans brought his characters in out of the rain and painted them to life among seasonal views of Central Park. Ever since, 12 little girls in two straight lines, and tweed-clad, shotgun-packing rabbits welcome regulars famous and not.” via City Secrets:New York
