Thanks for the history of Top of the Sixes! I have to laugh at the description of the beef stroganoff - so true, the food was terrible!
It had a glamorous lobby with a wide sweep of payphones which I used all the time. But I always thought 666 was pretty bad luck for any landlord.
Those were the days when a restaurant meal consisted of meat, green beans, mashed potatoes and a roll.
No celebrity chefs in those days.....never even heard of arugula.
