Item Description

Join your favorite Broadway and Hollywood stars immortalized on the walls of the famous Palm restaurant in the heart of the Broadway theatre district with your very own caricature. Celebrated caricaturist Al Evcimen has designed caricatures of Hugh Jackman, Harvey Fierstein, Matthew Broderick, Tom Hanks, Megan Hilty, Kristin Chenoweth, Robin Williams, Elaine Stritch, Idina Menzel, Billy Porter and hundreds more for Palm restaurants across the country.

You and a guest will celebrate the creation of your caricature in style with a meal at The Palm at 50th Street, just yards away from Broadway’s Gershwin and Circle in the Square Theatres.

You will be part of a long tradition of featuring caricatures at The Palm, which started when the original flagship Palm opened in 1926. At that time, the restaurant was in close proximity to the headquarters of King Features Syndicate and attracted a large clientele of cartoonists. In exchange for their meals, artists would draw their own creations on the walls of The Palm.

 

Item Special Note

Winning bidder and a guest will receive a $150 gift certificate for a meal at The Palm, 250 West 50th Street in New York City. Caricature will be created four to six weeks after submission of a photo of the subject, which should be one person.
