Over the last couple of years, the pineapple has had a resurgence as “a sign of hospitality,” a historic refrain. No wonder I’ve been seeing an uptick in pineapples used as decor in bastions of hospitality – bars and restaurants. Here are a few recent examples.
At Dear Irving, as bartop adornment.
Votive holder, at Mother of Pearl.
Wall sconce, at MiddleBranch.
Brass pineapple cocktail cup. This was at Tales of the Cocktail, but I’ve seen them at many bars around NYC and elsewhere.
The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality.
I was going to say the same thing!
