To be called "sweetie" by a warm hearted, elderly waitress every time I sat down was comforting. The food back then was actually quite good, and one could sit in silence enjoying a cover to cover read of the NY Post, which then was a wonderfully liberal paper!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-85215725531305794012013-11-11T06:36:30.760-05:002013-11-11T06:36:30.760-05:00But, will the film point out that the food just is...But, will the film point out that the food just isn't very good?

(Chronologically, this is post-Vega/Seinfeld.) Greasy, tasty, non-rhotic accents, superlative service--in summation, a slice of Bay Ridge bonhomie in the big city. Like so much of the dreary company town that is Morningside Heights (*cough* white Harlem *cough*), Tom's and their Topeka-dry hamburgers were always a little too redolent of The Prisoner for my taste. To each their own, of course, and I hope that this documentary will enlighten me in heretofore unseen ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-68354896397680897562013-11-08T15:40:23.150-05:002013-11-08T15:40:23.150-05:00these places are fundmental for service security s...these places are fundmental for service security social contact, also real food. there was a place called "bubbas" on prince st, i think near elizabeth which was similar. it was in business over 50yrs & closed. i would eat the same kind of sandwich there when i was in NY. hope thoms has a long life.
