I started grammar school in Woodside one month after Pearl Harbor. Before that, my mother ( who was NYC native) would give me a whole $0.15 and tell me to play on the subway! (A nickel going, a nickel coming back, and a nickel for a hot dog,) Not any more!
During the late 60'ss I was working in Rockefeller Center, and would sometimes have lunch away from the Center. My two favorites were Jack Dempsey's (which I don't believe is still in business) and Keens. I' would always get the Mixed Grill at Keen's which was always perfect. I had stopped smoking in 1962, so I didn't girt a clay pipe, but 90,000. Wow!!!
I grew up in northern NJ about an hour from Times Square. That was when the city was a fun place. I moved to the west coast in 1966, and am now in northern Arizona.
The last time I was in Manhattan, was in 1982 where I had breakfast at the top on the Twin Towers celebrating my son's graduation from SUNY Purchase.
It's nice to see that at least something from that past era has survived,
