Crusin6 Posted December 9, 2009 #227 Share Posted December 9, 2009 This thread is so enjoyable...talk about a good hijack! And since I grew up in Stamford (CT, for all y'all southerners), I feel like I'm a neighbor;) We'll be sailing the Miracle in May coz we're taking the whole family and can't afford all the flights. Taking Dad for his first cruise (at the age of 82) and he lives on the upper East Side. Irishman born and raised in Brooklyn, he will certainly tell you if you piss him off, but he is never rude:pBack to the pizza...........New Haven has awesome pizza, so all you New Yorkers don't have ALL the good pizza!;):D Toni, nice to see ya! I've been slumming on Facebook, too! I heard the pizza place near Yale that is suppossed to be fabulous just opened a place in Yonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin6 Posted December 9, 2009 #230 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Is that the one on the old site of Ricky's Clam House? I don't remember the location...but if it is on Central and it is the great place from New Haven....I hate to think what will come of it....I would have hoped that it was a small little place tucked away somewhere....I think the N Haven one is like that...at least that is what I got from the article I read.

Imagine my surprise finding one in Mazatlan back in the 90's I think there was a Horn and Hardart in Cross County Center? I recall one at the center....and I remember Tony Roma's for ribs there as well....with onion ring loaves!!! Now it is Burger King!!! Ah....Woolworth's...the Center had 2 of them...do you remember that? And of course the Gimbel's lunch bar!!!...That would have been a girl thing though:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone wanted sauerkraut with their mustard. Go figure. I was transfered to our Larchmont location in 1979. I remember being asked if I wanted something from Walter's, and I was like, "Huh". You would think I was uttering something sacreligious. So I got the whole story, and ordered 2! Ordered from there quite frequently after that, but was only there for 9 months.
