Polish Tea Room (Cafe Edison at Hotel Edison)
The Edison Hotel is located at 228 West 47th Street, in the heart of the theatre district. The Cafe Edison is joking referred to as the "Polish Tea Room," after the more famous Russian Tea Room that used to exist on West 57th Street, next to Carnegie Hall.

If it's fine dining that you're into, we've got Sofia's Restaurant, The Supper Club and a New York favorite, The Rum House, serving cocktails in a West Indian atmosphere. Enjoy a full tasty menu of Big Apple favorites at Café Edison, aptly renamed by theater patrons as the "Polish Tea Room." Or stroll one block over and find "Restaurant Row" ...a melange of eating establishments for every taste bud.

There are several restaurants and a bar attached to the hotel. The loan-shark murder scene in The Godfather was shot in what is now Sophia's restaurant. The pink-and-blue (wedding cake looking filigree and plaster) of the Edison Cafe's a theater-crowd landmark consistently recognized as New York City's best coffee shop.It is a famous meeting place of Broadway producers and cast members, (Neil Simon has a regular), so much so, that it was nicknamed the Polish Tea Room. Playing on the fact that a lot of business deals were made at the Russian Tea Room and those that weren't willing to pay the high prices there would meet, eat and deal at the Cafe Edison and thus came the name, the Polish Tea Room.

After several successful books about British theatre, she has turned her hand to the Great White Way, in A Theatrical Feast in New York. We will drink and dine at theater-crowd landmarks such as the famous Blue Bar at the Algonquin Hotel, the funky pink-and-blue plaster Edison Café, known half jokingly as the Polish Tea Room, and Broadway legend, Joe Allen's.
8 April 1987, New York Times, pg. B1:
It has been nicknamed the Polish tea room because of the Polish couple and some of their Polish dishes, as well as the suspicion that perhaps as many show business deals are consummated here, over meat loaf and pot roast, as at the chic Russian Tea Room.
5 June 1988, New York Times, pg. H18:
At lunch, whether at the Polish Tea Room (the Edison Cafe to the uninitiated) or the Algonquin Hotel, Mr. Golden finds himself surrounded by listeners.

Hi,
The hotel was opened in 1931, just a few months after the opening of the present incarnation of the Waldorf Astoria...another art deco masterpiece, and Radio City Music Hall. Due to the Depression and World War II, the Edison was the last hotel to be built until 1957 When Loew’s Summit opened on Lexington Avenue. So for all those years the Edison was New York’s newest hotel!
