Now, I have to confess I haven't been in a couple years. <BR/><BR/>I've always thought the most famous patrons of Joe Jr.'s were Tibor and Myra Kalman. (The Kalman's introduced Mizrahi to Joe Jr.'s.) If you look closely at Maria's children's books, you'll see traces of Joe Jr. everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Even her recent work features Joe Jr.'s.:<BR/><BR/>http://kalman.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/04/03/finale/?apage=7<BR/><BR/>(Scroll down, look for the burger.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-58246160783667856012008-12-27T18:25:00.000-05:002008-12-27T18:25:00.000-05:00Joe Jr!!

I am sad now, thinking back to those days when I had just moved to Manhattan.

I just so happened to walk past Joe Jrs two days ago and was struck by it's old school aura. I mean, I was really struck by it. You just don't see places like it anymore very much. I went in, sat in a booth by myself around 7 pm and decided for some reason that I wanted to order breakfast. The omelette wasn't bad, but man, I was in a state of bliss.
