I remember clearly the first time I was allowed to come to NY without my parents. I was 15 and was coming to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium with my best friend. We stopped at the Horn & Hardart automat for dinner before the show. It seemed so very, very "New Yorky" to us. I couldn't wait to come back again. The next time I came to NY they were all gone. Now a section of the wall of little glass doors can be found in the Smithsonian!


(The Russian Tearoom is another place I always wished I had visited)

This reminds me of the Ben & Jerry's flavor graveyard.

Il Duomo

This was an exceptional Northern Italian restaurant with great ambiance. It was located behind Lincoln Center. It suddenly disappeared about a year ago.

Yodo of Japan.
$3 dollar spicy tuna rolls and a free one with a glass of pinot noir.
I loved that place.
It was the cheapest edible sushi in town.

This thread makes me sad. It brings back so many memories.

The Auto Pub - the tables were in cars

Chock Full of Nuts - the counter was always an interesting place

Asti's - the waiters sang opera

Howard Johnson's - yeah it was a chain, but the one in Times Square was so 1950s and had so many memories

Windows on the World - lost on 9/11

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I second Mama Leones. I thought it was Mama Leonas. It was a long time ago that I was there. Great brushetta as I remember.
