Waldorf Salad is such a part of our culinary vernacular that it finds a home on holiday tables around the world.
It all began in March of 1893, on 5th and 33rd Streets in New York City--the location of the original Waldorf Hotel. Alva Vanderbilt threw a charity ball to fete the hotel's opening, drawing society A-listers from New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and everywhere in between.
