New York restaurant uses Madame Tussauds wax figures to fill empty seats

New York. New York’s Peter Luger Restaurant, known for its tasty meat, now has wax figures from the famous Madame Tussauds to fill some of its empty seats, as the city’s spaces can still operate at only 35% of its maximum capacity.

Among the stars who accompany the meals is the iconic Audrey Hepburn and the actor Jon Hamm, as well as the presenter and the former athlete Michael Strahan, the comedian Jimmy Fallon and the meteorologist Al Roker.

“I think a lot of people like it”he told local media David Berson, one of the spokesmen of the Brooklyn restaurant, who had these new “diners” curious since this Wednesday and who will remain until next Monday.

“Some customers, when they first enter, do not realize that they are wax figures”added.

“Yesterday, a person asked Jon Hamm if he knew where the toilets were, almost as if he were an employee.”, he counted.

In real life, Hepburn died of cancer at the age of 63, but in this restaurant the actress, dressed in pearls and elegant black gloves, is standing in front of a pair of martinis and a basket of bread, looking up at a chair goal. .

Jon Hamm, however, is in the bar area, with a drink in his hand, leaning lightly on the bar, while Al Roker kindly points out to the customers the stairs leading to the second floor of the restaurant, and Jimmy Falon enjoys a another meal from one of Peter Luger’s famous steaks.

“None of them had an avid”, Berson jokes. “Everyone is having a great time.”
