Default Woolworth on 5th Avenue


Last night my neighbor and I went downtown to a restaurant that has
been open for about 6 months. It's in the old Woolworth's location
and it had the old, very long lunch counter as well. Lots of tables
and booths, though.

We had crispy fried chicken skins as an appetizer. Meh.

Both of us ordered their "dime store burger" which was a 6 ounce bear
creek beef hamburger. Very, very good and it came with excellent shoe
string fries. She ordered a watermelon cucumber salad instead of fries.

We went upstairs to the bar area which was the old mezzanine when the
store was open for business. Lots of pictures from the 60's when there
was a sit-in at this location in an effort to desegregate. Quite interesting.
