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.

They were there as of 03/06/06 with their repulsively artificial orange drinks hehe.

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!

Definitely Barrymore's. I can't even walk down 45th street the same anymore - I avoid it at all costs.

Cottonwood Cafe; how I miss their banana-blueberry pancakes and chicken fried steak.

Howard Johnson's - Again if they served food they were a restaurant

HoJo's no great loss. Food was crappy and the service was glacial at best.

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 3/15/06 at 9:08pm

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)

My 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!
