The Green Tulip & Ice Cream Corner restaurants in the Plaza Hotel, NYC, NY (1971)

Designed by Sally Dryden, AID of Chandler Cudlipp Associates

Scanned from the December 1971 issue of Interior Design magazine

I love that Victorian-style/Gay Nineties Revival ice cream parlor, they were so popular back then! Also of note is the Art Nouveau revival touches in the Green Tulip restaurant, particularly the stained glass entry, lighting, curtains, and 'gazebo' structures.
