Oh Memory lane!

That Chock Full O'Nuts on 1116th st sustained me al ong with teh rickers
on the same block when I was in Ccollege at Barnard:-) Cheap, clean,
unifirm taste, so you knw exactly what you were getting. I loved the
nutted cheese-kind of cream cheese with nuts and it was CHEAP! 15cents a
sandwich an 5 cents a doughnut. Of course, minimum wage went from
75cents an hour to $1.00 during my undeergraduate days.

I used to love Paddy's Clam House. they had something like $1.49 lunches
with a fish, potato and veg, with, I beieve soup too. I never had their
pies, but they were very good and a great value for a young working womman
making about $60 a week. Those fish lunches were not just fried fish
either, but broiled or baked.

thanks for reminding me.
