NYC Eatery Knows Key to Good Publicity Stunt: Cheap Food

Patsy’s, a legendary Italian restaurant in Harlem, New York is celebrating its 75th anniversary. They’ve proven they know how to get attention for it as well, including an Associated Press wire story. From the AP:

Hurry to Patsy’s Restaurant in East Harlem as it celebrates its 75th anniversary with 1933 prices. The offer is good all day Tuesday. A 12-ounce New York cut steak and grilled salmon are going for 90 cents, a slice of pizza for 60 cents, and most beverages are 10 cents. The Italian family style eatery says Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett were once regulars, and many famous Yankees also stopped by over the years.
