Term of the Day: Polish Tea Room


Polish Tea Room--Edison Cafe, closed by the greedy landlords of the Edison Hotel at the end of 2014.  Slang name is a takeoff on the hoity-toity Russian Tea Room. Famous for its mixed clientele, including stagehands, producers and playwrights. Neil Simon used to eat there. Its matzah ball soup was famous.
