Brooklyn’s famed Peter Luger Steak House has partnered with Madame Tussauds to bring celebrity wax figures to mingle with patrons, helping to ease the coronavirus pandemic restrictions on indoor dining in New York City.
A Jon Hamm wax – known for his portrayal of publicity director Don Draper on the hit TV series Mad Men – could be found at the restaurant bar on Friday with a cocktail in hand.
Other characters on loan from Madame Tussauds include Michael Strahan, Jimmy Fallon, Al Roker and Audrey Hepburn in Holly Golightly from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” mode.
“It was a really nice way and like a fun and safe way to complement it a bit while maintaining social distancing,” said Restaurant Vice President Daniel Turtel.
“And they actually helped because it keeps the tables a little further apart. People are really careful around them.
