The Palm is an American fine-dining steakhouse that opened in 1926. It is notable for steak, lobster, traditional Italian dishes and the caricatures of celebrities, politicians and other prominent figures sketched on its walls.
It was originally intended to be named La Parma, but a city licensing clerk misunderstood the thick Italian accent of the founders. The owners found it was easier to change the name than to get the license reissued.
