Bernard "Toots" Shor opened his first restaurant at 51 West 51st Street. While the food at Toots Shor\'s Restaurant was known to be “nuttin’ fancy” – standard American, sports-bar fare such as shrimp cocktail, steak, baked potato – the establishment became well known for who frequented there and the manner in which Shor interacted with them. In 1959, he sold the lease for his first 51st Street restaurant for $1.5 million and in 1960 he opened at a new location at 33 West 52nd Street and that was in operation until 1971 when authorities padlocked the doors of the 52nd Street restaurant for nonpayment of federal, state, and local taxes. Shor vowed to open again in 3 weeks, but 18 months passed before he opened his last restaurant at 5 East 54th Street. For a variety of reasons his famous clientele never returned with their former regularity. The last restaurant closed circa 1977.
