OK, speaking of the trends from the 1970s: being that I was just a little tot at the time, what was up with all the gay guys hanging out by the West Side piers trying to act rough and tough? Looks rather comical when viewed from 2009.
<>There was a pretty square spot on Madison in the thirties called 'A Quiet Little Table in the Corner' that was nothing but plush seated booths for two each with a red bead curtain for privacy. You hit a button if you wanted a waitress. Imagine the possibilities...
I knew all the after hour spots on the westside and up in Harlem...pretty wild stuff.
