Iconic entertainer and humanitarian Danny Kaye will be honored, Monday, April 29, as his namesake sandwich joins the menu of the famed NYC staple in his Centennial year. Media are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Renaissance man Danny Kaye is known to most as a star of stage and screen, singer, entertainer extraordinaire and true humanitarian.  However, the beloved American icon, who entertained children of all ages in films like White Christmas and Hans Christian Anderson, is far less well known for his culinary talents.
