The Pabst Hotel occupied the north side of 42nd Street in Manhattan, between 7th Avenue and Broadway, in Longacre Square, from 1899 to 1902. It was demolished to make room for the new headquarters of ''The New York Times'', for which Longacre Square was renamed Times Square. To the Pabst Brewing Company, the hotel and its restaurants were part of a nationwide program for promoting its beer. This facility, however, was in conflict not only with the ''Times'', but also with plans for New York's new subway system. ==Pabst== In the 1890s the Pabst Brewing Company of Milwaukee embarked upon a program of acquiring restaurants and hotels—at one time controlling nine of them in Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and New York—giving the resorts its name and serving only its own products.〔〔 It subleased the properties to professional facilities operators. In New York, Pabst came to control: *the Pabst Loop Hotel in Coney Island, open in 1900〔 *the Pabst Harlem Music Hall and Restaurant, opened in September 1900 opposite the Harlem Opera House on 125th Street, billed as the largest restaurant in the world and seating 1400 patrons〔 *the Pabst Grand Circle Hotel and Restaurant on 58th Street, opened February 1903,〔 together with the Majestic Theatre, with which it was built.〔 ("Grand Circle" was an earlier name for Columbus Circle.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pabst Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
