A Georgetown staple where JFK allegedly proposed to Jackie is celebrating a milestone of itâs own. Martinâs Tavern is turning 80. Martinâs Tavern, established 1933. Martinâs has served a number of big names over the years. And itâs rumored to be the place where President Kennedy proposed to Jackie in whatâs now known as the restaurantâs proposal booth.
Jackie continued working Jersey and Brooklyn, and expanded to Philadelphia and some of the bigger clubs on Long Island. He married Genevieve in 1936 and they honeymooned at The Empire Theatre. By now Jackie was receiving positive press and began working clubs in Manhattan which landed him a role in Along Fifth Avenue.
