-Friday will mark what would have been Elvis’ 75th birthday, and the folks of the Big Apple are planning a major celebration in Manhattan to commemorate the occasion. The party kicks off Friday Jan., 8, 2010 @ 11:30AM at Ossco Bucco Restaurant, 88 University Place in Greenwich Village. Fans can come on down for free Fried Peanut & Banana Sandwiches; they were Elvis’ favorite. The restaurant will also be serving other Elvis specialities, like country friend steak with gravy from Graceland’s official cookbook, as well as birthday cake. In addition, there’ll be lots of look-alikes and impersonators that have autism and other disabilities performing in honor of the King. Bundle up, they’re predicting snow.
