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)

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.

Mama Leone's

Posted: 10/4/06 at 8:34amI second Mama Leones. I thought it was Mama Leonas. It was a long time ago that I was there. Great brushetta as I remember.
