“For a swell dinner reminiscent of the Rat Pack era, consider Melvyn’s Restaurant & The Casablanca Lounge, a favorite of Frank Sinatra and other visiting stars. Depending on when you dine, you may be able to hear live music while dining on traditional upscale fare, such as beef Wellington. And you might see some contemporary celebrities, too.”
