post-1965 incarnations
editMy mom had her 40th birthday party at the Stork Club in 1979, so at some point someone re-used the name, probably at the original location. It was moderately fancy, but mom didn't have tons of money so it couldn't have been too upscale. More research needed. -- Akb4 07:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting, but it couldn't have been at the original location because the building had been demolished and replaced by Paley Park. Please post a followup if you learn the location of the 1979 club of the same name. Barpoint (talk) 21:26, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- As i recall, "the stork club" came back to life (rather briefly i think) at some location on Central Park South in the 1970s (probably late 1970s). http://books.google.com/books?id=wDpSaPkSt-8C&pg=PA68&lpg=PA68&dq=the+stork+club+%22central+park+south%22&source=bl&ots=lq2SGB-Iob&sig=JNymPCE_1PgB7G28S1dTgTbxkNw&hl=en&ei=s710SrijKqCJtgfxwtWWCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#v=onepage&q=&f=false makes a mention of it.98.116.115.180 (talk) 22:14, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=19780317&id=RYIsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ps0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=3409,3924592 and something in the New Yorker both indicate there was a place at 112 central park south that opened near the beginning of 1978 and employed former Stork host Ed Wynn. They apparantly renovated and reopened again in early 1979 with a disco (http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1961&dat=19790513&id=SHMtAAAAIBAJ&sjid=lYwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1113,2235169) before closing mid-year (http://www.nysdta.org/STC/45300.pdf). 71.174.32.223 (talk) 09:35, 16 November 2013 (UTC) Akb4

Prohibition?
editNo information here about what happened between the stork clubs opening and its post-prohibition re-opening. Anyone have some source material? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.150.205 (talk) 23:35, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Re: West Side Story
editThis is one line in a movie which isn't about the Stork Club. As such, that makes it not important enough to be included in the article. We hope (talk) 16:55, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree. It's a popular reference in an important play and movie, which is itself a cultural milestone. That it got mentioned at all by Leonard Bernstein in this work is consequential. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- This was limited to works about the Stork Club in hopes that a trivia farm wouldn't spring up again. We hope (talk) 17:05, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
