Lüchow's Restaurant, founded by August G. Lüchow in 1882, was located at 110 East 14th Street near Union Square in New York City. Lüchow's was popular for serving traditional German food and beer, as well as holding special event banquets and holiday dinners. The restaurant was frequented by performers and patrons of the nearby theatre district, most notably William Steinway. In 1982, Lüchow's moved from its original location, and eventually ceased operation in 1986. This collection consists of two reservation books used in the restaurant: one for general reservations, dating from circa 1952; and one for special banquets and dinners--including Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years' Eve holidays, as well as duck, venison, goose, beefsteak, and bock beer festivals and dinners--from 1940 to 1951. Both reservation books list diner names, location of reserved tables, size of party, and time of reservation for each date less
