This Trader Vic's was a mainstay in the Savoy Hilton from April 3rd, 1958 onward, but was demolished in 1965 to make way for the General Motors building. At that time, the restaurant moved across the street to a location in the Plaza Hotel. Both Bob Fosse and Stanley Kubrick were regulars, and in 1964, Kubrick first discussed his idea for 2001: A Space Odyssey here.
