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.

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 8:53pmHoward Johnson's - Again if they served food they were a restaurant
#18re: Restaurant Graveyard
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

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!
A click for life.
