If you are too lazy to read the Odeon's history from the excellent Vanity Fair article ("Live From Tribeca", Frank Digiacomo, Sep 1 2008), I paraphrase: As seen in vintage SNL reruns or the cover of Jay McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City" (whose editor assumed the Odeon was fictional), the 29-inch, Art Deco reddish-orange neon letters represent the death of Studio 54, with a cool warmth that contradicted the cocaine, casual sex, and cash-fueled 80s to follow. Filmmaker Amos Poe said if the Odeon was a Beatle, she's be the Quiet one. The Bakelite skyline from an old Woolworth's and curvaceous, mirrored 1930s Deco bar were the highlights of the dark, postmodern movie-set-cum-dining room, with food from nouvelle cuisine pioneer Michel Guérard, all set in what authors Tom Wolfe described as "SoHo's Cotton Club" or what McInerney described as a "no-man's-land...where subcultures thrive." "It is old. It is new", McInerney would say. It was self-conscious without being pretentious, and it was retro without being kitcshy, or in the words of Lorne Michaels, "It had sophistication and it had French fries." Warhol, Basquiat, De Niro, Cher, Aykroyd and Belushi, who had his first creme brulee here, might agree. In the words of James Signorelli, king of SNL commercial parodies, it quickly became "the end of café society and the beginning of Short-Attention-Span Theater". Rediscovered in the highly profitable 1990s, Amos Poe reports, "It started out white-hot and transitioned into a classic. It's as if Pamela Anderson became Greta Garbo." My experience at the dark attractive bar was excellent, eating an ice cream sundae, not realizing all ice creams are house made and all-natural. Be warned: the mint ice cream tastes like actual mint, like straight out of a garden. Based on the article "Live From Tribeca", I would say The Odeon used to be Bill Murray from the 70s and now it is "Bill Murray in his 70s"
