![]() Her musical is one of a handful of performances marking New York City’s long-awaited return to Broadway. Broadway is back,” the singer-songwriter, author, producer, and actress captioned an intimate video she posted to Instagram during the opening night intermission.ĭespite some “wild” nerves and an almost snafu involving a missing pie prop, Bareilles was delighted to be back on stage. That’s what Sara Bareilles is wearing in her Broadway musical, Waitress, which returned to the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on September 2. (Snark!) But such delicacies, it seems, could only be consumed by ladies in the presence of other ladies.Imagine nurse-scrubs-blue meets over-starched diner-girl dress and white apron. I also got to thinking about how restaurants often had “ladies’ menus.” This menu, at least, seemed to acknowledge that corned beef, sturgeon and the like aren’t too much for our delicate palates. There once were a fair number of such portals, including the one to A&S from the Hoyt Street station (2 and 3 line) and to Loeser’s from Hoyt-Schermerhorn (A,C and G trains.) I wonder whether Siegel-Cooper was the first department store to have its own train station entrance. Seriously, though, I also winced at the creative protocol-photoshopping. The department store sounds like it was the precursor to the indoor mall. There was also a similar facility in Brooklyn and eventually, as things do, it all changed. The windows on the seond floor, 18th Street were the design area. The ground floor was a large open space for building sets. In the 1960’s into the 70″s the first two floors of this building were the NBC design studios. I remember the lunch counters at the department stores, we called them luncheonetts The 2nd Ave Deli still serves tongue sandwiches. I doubt you will find that in a walk in restaurant/cafe now. I remember when tongue sandwiches were served in some of the restaurants here in the city. Reblogged this on dymoonblog and commented: I sure could use a sandwich now, can they deliver to Chelan, Wa.?.(:+)…. No crullers or cream puffs with that cake? I’ll have the chocolate layer cake for 5¢ please. She was a very modern woman and I bet she dined on her own at Siegel-Cooper when she was younger.ĭepartment store lunch rooms and parlors used to be such a treat! I miss the culture around them, this sense of having lunch at, say, Lord & Taylor meant something special. Maybe this is why my grandmother (born in the 1880’a) liked to take me for lunch at B. This is a mystery to me-does anyone know? What is the meaning of “Hazel” everything? Been a while since I used a typewriter I suppose! I’d forgot entirely about the use of ” as shorthand to refer to the word above. And now Bed, Bath, & Beyond, which occupied the store since the 1990s, is dead as well. Siegel-Cooper made a big splash at the time but as you point out it was all over within a generation. Thanks Ben! Yeah, that’s some creative and primitive photoshopping, making an enormous elevated train track disappear. I love the menu! The NYPL menu collection, available on-line, is a treasure trove ! _ Unfortunately, the wall has since been stuccoed-over and the ad is no longer visible. ![]() Attached is a photo of an eastern-facing wall of a small building on Rockaway Beach Boulevard which I took about 15 years ago. Its billboard advertising appeared at the far reaches of the City, even. While in NYC it was famous and adored by upper-middle class shoppers. It never re-opened in NYC, according to Wikipedia, at least: It was converted to a hospital for veterans of WW I, especially folks suffering from influenza. The store, albeit ginormous, was a branch of a Chicago institution and did not survive the move “uptown” to 34th Street and beyond of other major department stores. The “photoshopping” out of the Sixth Avenue Elevated is hilarious. That’s what I assumed! NYC used to have so many of dairies, and now it’s basically B&H on Second Avenue.
