Mr. Roxy, you are so sadly uninformed.
Nedick's has been operating in Penn Station for some time now.
Wake up and smell the Nedicks.

Believe they have gone but I could be wrong
I will be in the area Saturday & will confirm it one way or the other.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Good news indeed. It appears I was wrong & I herewith apologize
One I know is definitely gone & Dolly will agree & lament with me is the Automat (s)

Bolzano was a surprise!
Barrymore's (now that is just a shame!) The sign said it all
"Closed Forever"

The good news is that Balzano's is being replaced with a Junior's
It has a good location but the rent must be big enough to choke a horse - probably a Clydesdale

To be sure Mr Roxy, but Barrymore's? That was a knife in my heart!

Posted: 3/15/06 at 8:24pmDefinitely Barrymore's. I can't even walk down 45th street the same anymore - I avoid it at all costs.

Posted: 3/15/06 at 8:56pmHoJo's no great loss. Food was crappy and the service was glacial at best.

Yes they did have plastic food & the bathroom had not been cleaned since it opened & it was down to about 11 flavors at the end but I do miss it on the corner
I think the head Chef there was Chef Boyardee

Yamaguchi- Had the best tuna sushi.
and in Brooklyn Heights; The Montague Street Saloon. Great cajun noodles and great place to hang on Fridays after work.

Mama Leone's. I used to go to with my parents whenever we visited NYC. I was crushed when it closed (I was about 14 years old)

Posted: 3/16/06 at 1:08amMy first time ever visiting New York - 1965. I went with my best friend on a bus to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium and we ate at the automat. What fun! A terrific (and inexpensive) New York experience that I'll always remember. I work at the Smithsonian and we have one of Horn & Hardart's automat 'walls' in the American History museum. I want so much to go up to those little doors and pull out a piece of pie!
