The Bronx and Zoo were clean, the Mets played at the Polo Grounds and the Giants at Yankee Stadium.

You could buy all kinds of schlock on 42th Street and never get panhandled or mugged.

How could we forget Horn & Hortacks(?)?

Broadway was entertaining and the big fancy movie houses.

A round trip student ticket to the city on the NY Central cost me all of $0.50.

Horn and Hardhart’s....I forgot about them. We just called it the automat. Blueberry pie for fifteen cents. HoJo had counters all over the place too.
