It may be trendy now, but I've been dealing with celiac disease for 15 years and restaurants like Friedman's have been literally life-changing for a lot of people.

Also worth noting is that the the last POTUS & current mayor (both socialist messiahs) have just accelerated the demise of NYC more than any neoliberal ever did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-76649377624038134362017-10-05T11:37:30.091-04:002017-10-05T11:37:30.091-04:00Ah, I can almost already smell (Milton) Friedman&#...Ah, I can almost already smell (Milton) Friedman's fresh stench of neoliberalism perfuming that storefront!John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-56614740929941737502017-10-04T08:22:07.189-04:002017-10-04T08:22:07.189-04:00I have to admit agreement with samadamsthedog; the...I have to admit agreement with samadamsthedog; the Cafe Edison was a perfect complement to the hotel to which it was attached - dirty, ugly, and what would be called in Yiddish/German <i>gemein</i>. The food also represented the gestalt of the place - a poisonous collection of saturated fat and sodium.<br /><br />I sympathize if this is what one likes - bad food in a dirty environment. But I would caution against getting nostalgic over such things. It's a kind of "Make America Great Again" thinking.Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860208585189661470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-88884114510272220342017-10-03T09:52:58.425-04:002017-10-03T09:52:58.425-04:00Edison must have been "once great" many,...Edison must have been "once great" many, many years before its demise. The best you could say for it over its last, say, 40 years was that on a good day, you could spot an unemployed actor slurping his watery soup in the corner. And on a great day, two of them commiserating.samadamsthedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310722213367887375noreply@blogger.com
