Rumpelmayer's was a café and ice cream parlor [1] in the Hotel St. Moritz and part of a chain started by Anton Rumpelmayer. It was popular for children's birthday parties, Sunday breakfasts, and afternoon teas. [2] The Art Deco restaurant was designed by Winold Reiss and overlooked Central Park. [3]
The pink walls had Egyptian-style mosaics and the room was decorated with stuffed animals. [4] They served hot fudge sundaes and hot cocoa, which was served in silver pots and considered " benchmark hot cocoa." [5]
Rumplemayer's opened when the St. Moritz opened in 1930 [2] and closed when the hotel closed in April 1998.
