Balkan Armenian
Abbey Tavern
Belmore Cafeteria (I never liked it but my parents did - huge nostalgia factor)
El Quijote - first place I ever ate Spanish food
Carolina in Coney Island
Garguilio’s in Coney Island
Senior’s on Nostrand Avenue, more nostalgia for a bygone style than anything else
NEVER Yonah Shimmel, it’s just plain bad, but Mrs. Stahl’s if necessary, preferred Hirsch’s on the Boardwalk
Chock Full O’Nuts - of course the cream cheese sandwiches, but oh, those donuts!
And while I have no personal memories of Horn & Hardart, the wife of my father’s sole employee worked for H&H from 1946 until the very last one closed. I think she may have retired as a manager of some type.
