No mention of Park Street is complete without Trincas, the iconic restaurant that has significantly contributed to Kolkata’s love for live music. But did you know that it also played a pivotal role in the city’s Christmas obsession?
The restaurant’s owner, Anand Puri, recently shared an Instagram reel, providing patrons with a peek into a rare 1962 Christmas card issued by Trincas. The card, which doubles up as an advertisement, features a glimpse of the Christmas special menu, along with notifying guests about Chris Perry’s concert with his orchestra and Molly, all in beautiful calligraphy done by hand. Found in the back of a dusty desk drawer and now framed and put up in the restaurant, this Christmas card feels like a peek into the city’s golden history. The full story is available on Trincas’ official blog, which compiles anecdotes and trinkets from the restaurant’s rich legacy.
