Lolly Steinman’s Casino
The casino of Lolly Steinman (Danny Burstein) is located in the magnificent Montauk Club building, a private club founded in 1889. The American presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy were both members. The building architect, Francis H. Kimball, took his inspiration from the palaces bordering the Grand Canal in Venice in order to create this building completed in 1891.
