In the centre of York, in [[St Helen's Square]], there is the York branch of [[Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate|Bettys Café]] Tea Rooms. Bettys' founder, Frederick Belmont, travelled on the maiden voyage of the ''[[RMS Queen Mary|Queen Mary]]'' in 1936. He was so impressed by the splendour of the ship that he employed the Queen Mary's designers and craftsmen to turn a dilapidated furniture store in York into an elegant café in St Helen's Square. A few years after Bettys opened in York war broke out, and the basement 'Bettys Bar' became a favourite haunt of the thousands of airmen stationed around York. 'Bettys Mirror', on which many of them engraved their signatures with a diamond pen, remains on display today as a tribute to them.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bettys.co.uk/blog/bettys-mirror|title=Bettys Café Tea Rooms, York|publisher=Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate Limited|access-date=2 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171203082848/https://www.bettys.co.uk/blog/bettys-mirror|archive-date=3 December 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
