The chain's first location was opened in 1919.[1] Longchamps restaurants were known for their natty art deco furnishings and decorations by Winold Reiss,[2] and a number of designs for elements of their physical surroundings were drawn up by New York architect Ely Jacques Kahn,[3] originator of a colorful version of art deco architecture.[4] In the early 1960s, Longchamps was the first – and perhaps the only – restaurant to introduce complementary Metrecal at luncheon,{{citation needed|date=October 2011}} and was otherwise known for such specialties as Oxtail Ragout, Crabmeat a la Dewey, Nesselrode Pie, and "21-Percent Butterfat Ice Cream".[5] A Longchamps in Washington D.C. was among the first tablecloth restaurants there to allow black customers.{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} In 1959, restaurateur Jan Mitchell, the owner of Luchow's, became president and majority owner of the chain. In 1967, with a total of eight locations existing in Manhattan at that point, he sold a controlling stake to Murray and Irving Riese.[6][7][8] Restaurateur Larry Ellman, owner of the Cattleman Restaurant, soon became partners with the Rieses and was named president of the chain.[9] In 1971, the chain sold four of its remaining restaurants to the Riese Organization – also controlled by the Riese brothers – mostly removing it from the "white tablecloth" restaurant business, and a number of the old locations had been turned into steakhouse-themed outlets. In June 1975, the former parent company, Longchamps, Inc., filed for bankruptcy.[5][10][11][12] References
