Yorkie Checks Out Tavern On The Green Auction

by Schmitty on January 14, 2010

I went to check out the famous Tavern On The Green before they auctioned everything off.     The good news – my sister Pudge and I were allowed to walk and sniff around the whole restaurant.   The bad news – the kitchen was closed!   Can you imagine they were selling all this historic stuff  -  from the flowered carpets to the fancy schmancy ceiling.   It seemed so wrong.  There, I said it and I’m glad!

OK,  here’s my goodbye tour of Tavern On the Green:

Forget the sign, is the fire hydrant for sale?

A sign of the times. Bummer.

Oh deer - will these fit in my apartment! Arf-Arf!

Does this chandeliers match my eyes?

Does this chandelier make my eyes look bluer?

How many champagne buckets does a human need?

I'll take one huge Chrsitmas tree with all the ornaments to go!

Just like the auction prices, this chandelier was over my head!   Arf-Arf!

Now that's a gaggle of chairs!

"Reflecting" on the soon to be sold mirrored hallway.  Sniff-sniff!

Stay tuned for the new restaurant!

Thanks for letting me mourn the loss of my neighborhood landmark.   I used to  pee in front of it everyday.

They say that a new restaurant will replace Tavern On The Green.    The same human who runs The BoatHouse in Central Park will be opening this new place.     Hey, Mr.  Poll, here’s a few suggestions  for your new restaurant:   1) Make the food yummy  2)  Give out free “doggie bags” and  3)  Allow dogs.    Now we’re talking/barking!

OK, I’m exhausted!

Arf-Arf,

Schmitty The Real New Yorkie

PS.  Meteorologist Ron Trotta had a death in the family.  So, our weather reports will start again next week.   Thanks for your thoughts and patience.
