The Colony was a restaurant in New York City known as a meeting place of café society. It opened in 1923〔James Trager, ''The New York Chronology: The Ultimate Compendium of Events, People, and Anecdotes from the Dutch to the Present '', HarperCollins 2010, p. 398〕 and closed in 1971.〔Amy Fine Collins, "The Colony Elite", ''Vanity Fair'', December 2000 (full text )〕 It was located on Sixty-first Street, off Madison Avenue.
==History==
The Colony was founded by Ernest Cerutti, Alfred Hartmann, and Gene Cavallero, who bought an earlier Colony restaurant from their former employer. At first, it was known for its upstairs gambling club where men could meet their mistresses. But after Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt discovered it, it became the fashionable haunt of New York high society.〔
Mayor Jimmy Walker's victory celebration was held at the Colony in 1925. The Colony served liquor during prohibition, serving it in cups rather than glasses, and keeping its liquor in a service elevator where it could easily be moved, though Mayor Walker protected the restaurant from raids.〔
The Colony installed air conditioning in the late 1920s, the first restaurant in New York to have it; it was also the first in the U.S. to serve Dom Pérignon champagne.〔
