To attract more guests to the restaurant, which is experiencing difficulties like all the businesses in its area, the place has reached an agreement with Madame Tussauds' New York branch, according to which every diner is entitled to a discount on a visit to the museum.
It is of course important to note that the famous New York institution is not the only restaurant that fills the space with life-size figures: in fact it is a global trend of many restaurateurs, and it encompasses restaurants from places in the United States, Belgium and even Lithuanian restaurants have adopted the idea.
However, only the Peter Luger restaurant can boast such a famous clientele.
