I worked at the Orson Welles Restaurant during the
mid-70s, while I was in grad school, as busboy,
waiter, and eventually as weekend manager. It was
a crazy but a nice place to work, filled with interesting
and often eccentric people. We watched movies next door
when we weren’t working. The Cinema provided patrons with
excellent credits for and critical comments on each movie,
mimeographed on colored paper, and I still have a couple
of hundred of these tucked away somewhere. The Cinema
also sold the coolest tee shirts in the world, designed
by somebody with a great graphic sense (portraits of
movie stars, for the most part, but I can also remember
Bugs Bunny and Alfred Hitchcock). I also still have a
silk-screened poster for the “Orson Welles Film Festival”
signed by Orson himself when he came for dinner at
the restaurant. He was not very mobile at that point
but extremely kind and generous. He told me that
I looked like Albrecht Durer, which I took for a compliment
until I located a portrait of A.D. Eventually the owner
of the restaurant ran out of money and odd new owners
materialized. Among other things, they informed the staff
(free spirits all) that from now on everybody would be
wearing uniforms. A strike ensued, and then a fire,
and that was it for the restaurant.
