I don’t know if non-New Yorkers can appreciate the tragedy of losing a place like this. It’s like losing Luchow’s. It’s not just a restaurant, it’s part of NYC history. But since we’re perched on the brink of losing the country, what’s one restaurant.

my dad was NYPD for 23 years- we used to frequent Ray’s on 6th back in the day (mid 70’s)- even when i transferred to St John’s U in 1982 and lived in Queens i would occasionally take the F-train down to 4th street just for a slice with onions or a slice w/mushrooms- it was that good..i brought my roomates down and they loved it...

went back last November for the first time in decades after an off broadway show my daughter was in- the place was empty and there were mexicans making the pizza...sad...

It's like losing Luchow’s? ROTFLMAO. How old are you? In 1962 the company I worked for; Standard Security Life Insurance Company. had it's Christmas Party at Luchow’s. The soup was out of a package and it went down hill from there. We all trooped over to Pete's Tavern to get a real meal.

Hated that we lost the Russian Tea Room, Costello’s bar in the 40s, Pen and Pencil, also in the 40s, the Palm, so many good restaurants and bars. Can’t even go into the old Monkey Bar since that creep Graydon Carter sexed it up.
