I was trying to find info on Ernie's and stumbled upon this website/forum. I'm (fashionably?) late to the party, but wanted to add another restaurant to the list, from the late 70s or early 80s. Dobson's was on Columbus, on the northeast corner of 75th or 76th street if memory serves. I was glad to see other old favorites from that era like Peretti's, Ghengis Khan's Bicycle, and Ruskay's. Looking at the posts from 2004, most of those restaurants are gone. Fiorello's on Broadway/63 is still around, the lone survivor on that block.
