Discussions

Suggestions for expansion: something about the history (like famous musicians who played there regularly), a photo of the place, a New Yorker cartoon if we can get one legally, et cetera. -Aratuk 04:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I began doing some cleaning up of the article today - strengthened the structure to make it more encyclopedia-ish, re-worked some sections that had been lifted directly from the website, added the restaurant infobox, and some other tweaks. Gonna now look for a fair-use photo for the infobox.Bradfordschultze (talk) 07:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Added a photo of the Rainbow Room from my own collection. Not the best, but if someone can find a better one, throw it in. In the meantime, I'm pleased this article has a "high" importance in WP:FOOD.Bradfordschultze (talk) 19:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"carpet" clarification

The dance floor is described twice as having (or being) a carpet. If I'm not wildly mistaken, you cannot dance on a carpet. How would that even work? Maybe the writer meant "parquett"? Sounds much more reasonable to me (and the Images look like parquett). Would be really interesting to know which material/wood they used. Who can fix that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.34.203.84 (talk) 09:06, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Highest elevated" clarification?

The lead declares that it was the "highest elevated" restaurant in the USA for decades. Should this be qualified as "above ground", so that it is not confused with highest elevated "above sea level"? Surely there were restaurants in Denver and Salt Lake City by 1934. Morgan Riley (talk) 20:31, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rainbow Room closing during the war

The first section says that the Rainbow Room closed because of WWII starting in 1942, but per a listing in the 12/26/1942 New Yorker Goings on About Town section (page 4, first column), it did not close until January 1943. Thank you! AnnetheMongoose (talk) 17:58, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anthony Bourdain Absence

Isn't it odd not to mention the chapter on the Rainbow Room in Kitchen Confidential and its critique? 2A06:C701:9D5C:F000:F051:EF22:FA1A:CD8F (talk) 20:26, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
