I 'member all that, too. Living in the Cleveland area, we often went down to
Columbus for something different than Cleveland offered. Probably before
your time there, but there used to be a Marzetti's (of the bottled salad
dressing "fame") Restaurant downtown. The Marzetti family had run it for
years. It wasn't far from Lazrus' downtown store. Their food was actually
rather good and predominantly Italian, although the place had the feeling of
a "tea room" where ladies lunch. :-)
