Several years ago, that used to be "The Orange Room,"  aka Nedicks. Great place for cheap date!!!!

Is that what you did?? You didn't go down the street to Jahns?

I remember Jahn's in Flushing, and what about the Hurdy Gurdy on Roosevelt Ave.? ??? :

 

[efd274]

I thought that was over on Northern Blvd just west of the Armory!!

 

[johnd248]

What about the Jahn's on Church Avenue, just off Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn?  I remember operating at an all hands there back in 1969.

 

[efd274]

Never in the Flatbush Avenue one - the last one in Richmond Hill closed about a year ago - if I recall they all had Tiffany chandeliers and the famous large group item was the "Kitchen Sink"

 

[fdce54]

I remember Jahns on E. Kingsbridge Rd in the Bronx right next to the Con Ed bldg burning to the ground in the late 70's. Seems fire was a good way to salvage the business when the neighborhood changed.

There was a "juice-bar" disco, the "Beehive" I used to hang out at on Northern Blvd. near the Armory. 8)
