Hey, my first set of speakers was from Fisher!As was my first "rack stereo." Fisher stereo amp, Fisher receiver, Fisher tape deck, Fisher turntable, and those big, bad-boy Fisher floorstanding speakers. Even added one of their first CD players, circa 1987-88. Ah, memories!
We may need a pizza and beer section of HTF...
Is Mama Leone's still around?Hadn't thought about this in a while. I don't think so (Mama L's and Luchow's were annointed New York's "most missed" restaurants).
The venerable Patsy's, however, is definitely still around. This was "Sinatra's favorite restaurant" (I'm sure other spots make that claim), and every year on his birthday, they serve his favorite dessert for free, I think (no idea what the dessert is). Like other NYC eating institutions, it's more of a mini-money-making-empire than a restaurant nowadays (catalogs, websites, mailorder, etc).
I've never eaten there, so I can't comment on the food.
