Located at 151 East 45th Street on New York's once famous Steak Row, Danny's Hideaway was a beloved restaurant and bar that specialized in steaks, filet mignon and lobsters and was frequented nightly by famous names in entertainment and sports. It was so iconic a watering hole, in fact, that Don Draper entered Danny's bar in the 2012 Mad Men Season 5 finale (seen at 1:28 in the clip on this page) and ordered an Old Fashioned. From The 'Lost New York City' blog, the restaurant is described this way: "Outside, a 60-ft. awning proclaims it the home of DANNY'S HIDEAWAY and His Inferno, His Music Room, His Menu Room, His Key Room, His Nook. Celebrity parties have become his specialty and everything has been celebrated there from the signing of a new TV contract to the taking of a bride. Danny's Hideaway closed in the mid-1970s, allegedly because of nonpayment of back taxes, but a bailout from friend Frank Sinatra enabled Stradella to open in a new location.
