Did Tavern on the Green appear in "Ghostbusters", or am I confusing it with another restaurant?

I worked at Tavern over thirty years ago when I was newly arrived in NYC. One of my favorite celebrity moments involved Rock Hudson. Management routinely called newspapers to send photographers when a famous person was present, though they denied it. Mr. Hudson was dining in the Crystal Room with three other gentlemen. The photographer asked if she could take a picture, but Mr. Hudson said no. She walked away, but then crawled around between tables and took a picture anyway. Rock Hudson stood up, took a swing at her camera and shouted, "You f***ing bi*ch!" She ran from the room. Hudson apologized to the entire room and received an ovation.
