Statler Days
Here is a photo of the Statler Hotel...
This was the site for birthday lunches with Nana. We would be dressed up as if we were going to church...in our very best, for the Statler was an exremely fancy hotel with a very fancy restaurant. I remember that all of her grandchildren were always present for these lunches, cousin Jill included of course. I also remember that the waiters/waitresses hovered all around us, giving us the best of the Statler service. The napkins were heavy linen and the silverware all matched. It even had an "S" engraved on the handles.
Judging from the age of the cars in the photo, I would guess that this was taken in the early 1950's.

As a little one, trying to be good at the Statler for lunch, I remember wishing we could go to Clifton's Cafeteria instead, as they gave prizes if you had a special flag stuck in your food. All children got the colored stick on their flag, of course. As I got older, the Statler became more fun.
