Old Timer

The Central Park Casino was a real fabulous Landmark in Central Park. It was a great nightspot as well as a beautiful spot for icecream & cake, etc in the afternoons. It was where the elite meet, strictly for the rich during the Great Depretion. I believe Eddy Duchin and his band made it famous & vice versa. I don’t have any pictures but if you contact his son Peter Duchin he probably has some. Mayor Jimmy Walker, spent many evenings there; he was involvled in many scandals and eventually was not re-elected for that reason — and as a result the Casino was torn down.
