Historical Background:Toots Shor restaurant in midtown Manhattan was the epicenter of New York City\'s celebrity and sports nightlife in the 1950s and 1960s. Athletes and stars could drink and carouse completely uninhibited, as the proprietor, Bernard \"Toots\" Shor, banned autograph seekers, paparazzi, and staff from hassling VIPs like Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mantle, and Frank Sinatra. We have shown a photo of Toots Shor in his namesake restaurant dining with Mickey Mantle; similar \"TOOTS SHOR\" ashtrays are visible on the table.
