Guthrie was a member of the Almanacs Singers.<br /><br />Ed Cray, author of "Ramblin' Man: A Life of Woody Guthrie" says that the Almanac Singers' Lee Hays and Pete Seeger's first paying gig was in January 1941 at a fund-raising benefit for Spanish Civil War loyalists at the Jade Mountain restaurant in New York City.S.S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-17263625389406212932008-02-25T17:53:00.000-05:002008-02-25T17:53:00.000-05:00Jade Mountain made the best fried shrimp wrapped i...Jade Mountain made the best fried shrimp wrapped in bacon--yumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-29843674382481558752007-08-06T20:28:00.000-04:002007-08-06T20:28:00.000-04:00i think the east village--and much of new york--is...i think the east village--and much of new york--is being held together by a few people, like mr. chan, who've lived here and run small businesses for generations. as they pass away, so will the new york we love.Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-3724627350110016612007-08-06T12:36:00.000-04:002007-08-06T12:36:00.000-04:00I met Suzanne Chan during the closing, and she tol...I met Suzanne Chan during the closing, and she told me about her husband's accident. And how she couldn't go on running the restaurant without her husband/partner/best friend. She also told me there was already a new owner for this historic old New York spot. Another bar. If its another one of these sports bar with beer bongs- i'm moving. Exactly what the east village doesn't need.jodi holidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011609640107440004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-57392117729398285442007-08-05T20:36:00.000-04:002007-08-05T20:36:00.000-04:00It really kills me that I missed eating here.

One can only hope that the Jade Mountain sign will be moved to an appreciative - and I'd also like to add - appropriate audience. Like a nice Chinese restaurant in the midwest, where it could serve as a beacon on a snowy night.<BR/><BR/>What I wouldn't want to see is some trendy bar use it, and have the type of people who drove this restaurant out of business patronizing it. I'm thinking like the revoltingly named Tenament bar. <BR/><BR/>- from an Upper West Sider before it became the UWSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
