And eating (?) at a Starbucks (they serve lunches?) isn't the same thing at all. Diners? There are now DINERS on Madison and/or Third Ave.?
No,what I mourn is a lost world and I know it. About the ONLY still standing landmark,that my great grandmother,grandmother,mother, my daughter and I will be able to share with a future grandchild of mine,is a ride on the merrygoround in Central Park;I fear.
Many dinners on madison and third, though what I call a diner you may know as a coffee shop.
Rumplemyers had a children's lunch menu, though it wasn't extensive.
Many of the important landmarks are still there, the Met, Museum of Natural History, Rose Planetarium, the central park playgrounds that for generations have served as scenes of some of the great "class wars" in NYC history...
