 In 1963, the club offered a hamburger and French fries for $1.99 in a "New York Times" advertisement; when those in the know about the club saw it, they realized the Stork Club's days were coming to an end.In the last few months of its operation, at times, only three customers came in for the entire evening.On a good day in the mid-1940s, some 2,500 people visited the club.
