The more than 15,000 square
feet of banquet space of two
grand ballrooms (seating 900 and
up to 300), meeting rooms for
groups 10 to 80, and four board-
rooms, provide a lot of space for
togetherness sessions.
You'll seldom hear a Radisson
Plaza employee say, "No, we
can't" ... They are more apt to say
"Yes", or "We'll try."
It has always been a most in-
novative hotel, with a lobby that
just oozes warm comfort.
Now comes its Simchah pack-
age for breakfasts, luncheons and
dinners ... with food geared to
Jewish diets and kosher desserts
supplied by Zeman's (kichel,
mandelbrot, mini pastries,
strussel fruit bars, rugelach,
hamantashen, seven-layer cake,
etc.) ... plus a regular assoz fluent
of homemade desserts.
And here's something that'll
no doubt click on as quite a fa-
vorite ... book 10 or more rooms
with the Simchah package and
Radisson Plaza will donate a por-
tion back to favorite congrega-
tions or charities.
As for Tony C. ... looks like he
is in the right spot at the right
time ... His T.C. Linguini's that
has taken over from the former
Bouquets could be just what
mom, pop and the kids have been
looking for.
T.C. Linguini's:
Informal and
delicious.
