Brooklyn, NEW YORK CITY - Hotel St. George - Italian Village Tavern ADVERTISING

Description: Brooklyn, NEW YORK CITY - Hotel St. George - Italian Village Tavern ADVERTISING - 1939: The Hotel St. George, once the largest hotel in New York City, was located in the heart of scenic Brooklyn Heights. Today, it is a landmarked building in the first historically landmarked neighborhood in New York. Its various constituent buildings, mostly surviving, were built between 1885 and 1929, although it no longer operates as a hotel. It was conveniently located just one stop from Manhattan, atop the Clark Street subway station (2 3 trains) on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line. The subway entrance still operates inside the Hotel itself, right before the main door leading to the no longer operating ballroom and check-in. The St. George Tower once drew celebrities, athletes, and every presidential hopeful flocking to its many ballrooms (the Colorama Ballroom being the largest banquet room in the world) and the largest indoor salt-water pool in the United States. Part of The Godfather was filmed in the St. George. This interior restaurant view claims on its reverse to be "Greater New York's Largest Hotel" with the "World's Finest Indoor Salt Water Swimming Pool." It also contains subway directions "7th Avenue IRT - Clark Street Subway Express Station in the Hotel." The card advertises The Italian Village Tavern, a bar with a "Delightful Atmosphere" for "Dining and Dancing". The Hotel St George "Greater New York's Largest Hotel" "World's Finest Indoor Salt Water Swimming Pool" "7th Ave I.R.T. - Clark Street Subway Express Station in the Hotel." This Photochromatic postcard, mailed in 1936, is in good condition.
