Beginning on Thursday, Feb. 25, the popular New York City eatery will be hosting some A-listers thanks to Madame Tussauds New York.

The restaurant — located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn — teamed up with the wax museum to provide guests with a star-studded dining experience as the city increases indoor occupancy from 25 to 35 percent amid COVID-19.

"The restaurant industry is vital to New York City's economy, and it's been particularly hard hit this past year," said Daniel Turtel, Vice President of Peter Luger. "We're excited to welcome diners back indoors at 35 percent, and thought this would be a fun, safe way to fill some of the seats that need to remain empty as we continue to fight the pandemic. It has been wonderful working with the fabulous team at Madame Tussauds New York."

Among some of the wax A-listers that customers will be able to dine with are Jon Hamm, Audrey Hepburn and Jimmy Fallon.
