Funny you say that. My daughter and I were driving back from Jacksonville airport last night. Stopped to get takeout on way to our house in Palm Coast. In walk 3 couples exactly, how you describe them above coming from the Speedway...lol.
Or bbq it.
But it goes to show how supply and demand has lower prices despite inflation over the course of 50+ years.
It’s probably the same place, went down hill and closed.
Never looked for that high rent stuff. I have simple tastes.
My pops always tells me that Garo sold silk ties out of a stall at Mall of the Americas. Any of you old heads ever actually see that place? I figure it's just a story.
Nah Man....Arthur Ave has been the real Little Italy for decades...The Little Italy in Manhattan has become (and has been) touristy, much like Lombardi's Pizza has become. Don't get me wrong, the Mulberry St/Little Italy has unbelievable Italian fare, and has for yrs...but the majority of Italian families (such as mine) know Arthur Ave as the real Little Italy)I respect that you have a lot of feelings, but "Little Italy" is in lower Manhattan and "Arthur Avenue" is in the Bronx. Now I appreciate that you think, with some validity, that Arthur Ave has become the the more authentic place for Italian food and food shopping, and no one is arguing with you there, but they are called what they are called.
No one in NYC, Italian or not, local or not, is going to say "let's go have dinner in Little Italy" and mean the Bronx. Period. If you tell anyone to meet you in Little Italy for dinner, you're going to end up eating at Randazzo's alone, while they all have a grand time breaking bread at Il Cortile on Mulberry without you.
I'll give you credit though, you're on a roll lately! : )
But show respect for reality.
i had the St Mark's Pizza a number of times in the late 1980s. it was very good. the area was shady, however.

This place has some of the wackiest decor I have ever been to. Even their bathroom and entrance is oddly cool I think it even won an award.
GTFOOHWDBS
Aint gonna sit here and tell me what is and isn't Little Italy. Got to be kidding me.
Yes, there is a Little Italy downtown. Well aware of it. Just saying, the real Little Italy is in the BX. And that's that.
Oh **** no BUCCEES ALL DAY!
My Mom was born in Calabria (1920)...she was 1yrs old when my Grandparents came to America. 1st settled in the Lower East Side, then to Brooklyn in 1925.You got one uptown on Arthur Avenue, and another downtown on Mulberry Street. Both are "neighborhoods," hence the "A Bronx Tale" references. You got to be nuts to argue with me about this.
Let's not get into the whole Italian thing. Please.
My old man's side of the family is from the boot, Calabria. When I say I'm going to Little Italy, I am referring to 187th St, usually to make a run at Casa Della Mozzarella, Borgatis, etc.
What you know about LilMoMozzarella, lol
How ya doin!!!!!
Please Stop it....A sign is meaningless...Everybody knows the real Little Italy is in San Diego. Unless this is just some stupid ****ing contest. Because I'm pretty sure it really doesn't ******* matter what YOU call Little Italy. The neighborhood that has the sign and is known as Little Italy is in Lower Manhattan on Mulberry St.
Their quality in food is better than anyone else in south Florida. Best bang for your buck, too.
Supposedly Kirkland vodka is Grey Goose.
So the fight is back on??
