Founded by Michael Romanoff (born Hershel Geguzin, 1890-1971), Romanoff's was a popular restaurant with Hollywood stars during the 1940s and 1950s, including director Alfred Hitchcock.
Romanoff's provided the catering for the Spellbound end-of-shooting party, held in October 1944.[1]
On the evening of the 20th Academy Awards ceremony on March 20th 1948, the Hitchcocks dined at the restaurant along with Whitfield Cook, Joan Harrison and Sidney Bernstein.[2]
