Howdy Daniel

Some years ago you remenisced about one of your favorite eateries of the yesterdays, Jimmy’s, Chelsea are of NYC (in the thirtie’s perhaps. anyway, west side) Jimmy was a large, rotund fellow with almolst no english, who padded about in slippers, and served from an open kitchen. Most of the hangers on in his emporium were Puerto Rican dominoe players. I was also an habitue of the place in the early & mid 60s, and wonder if you recall its name, more precise location, and/or experiences, culinary or other, you might have had there. Thanks.

It was: The Original Spartacus A.P. Pepsi Cola Oriental Restaurant, and it had stenciled Acropolises in radiator paint on the walls.
