"Classic Italian" |
There are some things should never change; places that you hope will be around forever. But change will come and so will corporate plates of imitation Italian dinners and bread sticks from the freezer. Here is a classic much as it was decades ago. The decor is living proof.

"A sign of good things to come..." |
A long hall of newspaper clippings, old photographs and a vintage coat rack lead you back to two separate dining rooms. On one side is the main restaurant filled with linen covered tables and a full menu. To the left and one step up is a room lined with saggy booths, green-checkered tablecloths, and an a la carte menu.

"Ambiance on a budget" |
Design on a dime must have been here but I like it that way. The sauce tastes better when you sit in a tilted, sagging, spring-weary naugahyde booth. The beer is always colder too.

"Seeburg Wall-O-Matic 200" |
The buttons on this Seeburg tell the tale of a bygone era. Grease soaked and history full this unit has seen it's share of spaghetti stained shirts. An itunes dinosaur whose days are numbered.

"Get your nose off the screen!" |
You can keep your French cuisine, prime rib, and lobster tails, this meal beats them all. The garlic bread alone gives them a run for the money. Let's get twirlin'.

Thanks for stopping in. Come again soon!
I can easily understand why you are drawn to this place. Your descriptions and photos are great, and the colors are very appealing to me. Yes, I think food would taste better in such a place. Love those booths, and chairs.
ReplyDeleteYou've reminded me of so many places where the jukebox on the wall held court. What fun it was, flipping through the choices to find a favorite or two. good times. I hope these types of places never disappear.
John, The jukebox brought me back to those days when I did a lot of business travel. I enjoy songs by Patsy Cline (think I spelt her name correctly) and always, the jukebox would feature songs by Patsy Cline! A bonus for sure. Like Teresa, I admire the colors of your gorgeous photos. The colors are always so very crisp. Kindest, Jennie
ReplyDeleteThe colors of your photos make me say, "WOW! Jennie, today I heard Crazy, originally sung by Patsy Cline, but today sung by three elderly ladies and their caregiver in their Sunday afternoon singalong :-)
