Damn, I always wanted to go to the Viceroy. I think I recall not going in once because it looked a little overpriced, but I remember noticing a terrific Campari sign inside.
Amen, Bob.
By the way, Jeremiah, about the Viceroy...I lived in Chelsea '85-'87, and there were some pretty decent places to eat around there. Well before the Viceroy. I always keep in mind that most writers for New York mag are under 30. In fact, I'd bet some of the editors are, too. Not a bastion of historical perspective...lol.
Thank heavens Geoffrey's Grocery is still there!
I had drinks with two of my best, longest, most helpful friends and I'm glad I can keep that memory. Some of the people who just believed in me for reasons unkown, gave me access to connections that helped make me who I am today. I will treasure my memories of the Viceroy - especially the last. This saddens me to the core. I wish it could have stayed open.
