"Raoul's instantly became a hangout for Serge’s colleagues in the French press; artists such as Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol; Wall Streeters; models, and A-list celebrities. In addition to becoming a gossip column favorite, Raoul’s was the center of Downtown nightlife, a place where patrons could enjoy classic French dishes, such as their famous steak au poivre, along with an edgy late-night scene." - Kathleen Squires
