I grew up in the LaGuardia projects at Clinton/Madison in the late 60s-79 and I loved the dirtiness/gritiness of the city the way it was. I watched the Twin Towers being built and I remember going with my Mom to shop at the Co-op on Grand St with a stop at the Jewish Bakery to pick up a fresh made strawberry cheese cake. I watched double features at the Loews Delancey and ate take out at the Chicken Delight on Essex. My favorite memory is buying Aurora models and 45 rpms at Joes Record Shop.
@ricantarzan I grew up in Washington Heights by Highbridge pool (60's-70's). You described exactly the NYC I remember, just a different neighborhood. We had a Loews, RKO Colliseum, Hobbyland and Kappy's records. I miss those days.
Does anyone know the little place called..I think..Punjabi's? Its where a lot of taxi drivers stop on break to get food, and I think it has the best indian food in the city.
As usual he left out the Latino food influences. Why didn't he go to Casa de Adela or some other Latin food joint along Avenue C? Crist you forgot about Loisaida?
From the L.E.S. went away but, moving back but, of course back to BKLN. L.E.S. too expensive. How ironic. I thought this was pretty cool. Thanks...Cheers "DEE"
@JOEYGOLDCOMEDY know that your "Losaida" wasn't coinned until the 1960's. The Puerto Rican movment into LEA was a blip on the radar homie..look at all you yuppies now
@JOEYGOLDCOMEDY you fuckin moron what the fuck are you talking about?!?! When the hell do they say that?!?! ITS ABOUT THE ICONIC EATERIES OF LES, ie: mostly historical landmarks and mostly of Jewish influence...you're a fuckin sped, nowhere in this clip is it stated that this is about MODERN DAY LES...if it was then all you'd see are yuppy pseudo bohemian transplants draining this city of its culture...THATS MODERN NYC...
@skymunro ur missing the point. u randomly threw this nonsense about when the term "losaida" was coined and it was completely out of context and incongruous to the point of the docu...which WAS about the MODERN DAY places that the filmmaker frequents in LES. what does "losaida wasnt coined til the 60s" have 2 do w/ANYTHING and wtf makes me a yuppie?!
@skymunro ...........HERE YA GO........skymunro @JOEYGOLDCOMEDY know that your "Losaida" wasn't coinned until the 1960's. The Puerto Rican movment into LEA was a blip on the radar homie..look at all you yuppies now 5 days ago
@JOEYGOLDCOMEDY.."look at all you yuppies now" this wasnt ment as you in particular, It was a generalization. Sorry for being beligerent, i can be an abrasive shithead sometimes
sayiin yuh gona come here nd become a gangster thats mad head jus cuz nikkas is from the LES don't mean they all in gangs nikkas from here can still make somethin of themselves
