One of New York's few remaining cabaret supper clubs, the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel, is closing its doors after 32 years of entertainment. The club, which has recently hosted a wide variety of regular performers like Steve Ross, Karen Akers, and Andrea Marcovicci, was already on its second wind – it was revitalized in 1980 and served as a launch pad for stars like Harry Connick, Jr. and Diana Krall after having been closed for decades. The club dates back to 1939 and served as an informal meeting place for the “Algonquin Round Table” group of writers and artists before that.
