Originally built as the commissary to the studio opened by the legendary Adolph Zukor in 1920, the space is affectionately known as the Astor Room. The studio eventually became the home of Paramount Pictures, and over the next two decades, over 120 silent and sound films were produced here. From the Marx Brothers to Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, and W.C. Fields, Astoria was home to the great talents of an exciting new industry who all dined in the Astor Room. An extremely talented staff of mixologists has updated the Astor Room to become a relevant part of today’s Astoria, and so we touched base with bartender Michael Molnar to learn some of the secrets of his favorite dishes and drinks. The Beef Tartar with a blend of Shell steak and Filet, is lightly seasoned with crushed capers, diced shallots, and chives; bound with a delicious truffle herb aioli. A true delicacy. Beefsteak Tomato Salad has thickly cut tomatoes, creamy blue cheese, red onion, Mache, and topped with a sherry vinaigrette.
