New York — A Connecticut couple will mark their 60th wedding anniversary at New York's Waldorf-Astoria for the same $16.80 per night they paid on their honeymoon.
Isidore and Joan Schwartz, of East Lyme still have their hotel bill from March 2, 1952.
Today, rooms at the Waldorf start at $319 a night.
The hotel charges the original room rate for returning guests celebrating a milestone. It says two or three couples a year take advantage of the deal.
The former New Yorkers met on a blind date in 1950. Their wedding reception was on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Joan Schwartz tells the Daily News that it cost $4.75 a head for a catered steak dinner and ice sculpture decorations.
