  1. Sorry to bring up this old post - but I stumbled across it. I grew up in the west 60s during the 1970s. Thought I'd throw a few more out - maybe it will bring back some memories for others on this string. Cantina - NE corner of 70th and Columbus. One of the first restaurants to draw people to Columbus. Rocking horse cafe - on the west side of Columbus between 70th and 71st - had frozen yougurt in the mid-70s sante fe - on the south side of 69th bet Columbus and CPW - opened by the maitre d of cantina. Charlie's deli - east side of Columbus bet 68th and 69th - I don't remember if this was the actual a name or the guy behind the counter - closed in the early/mid 70s pizza pub - west side of Columbus 68/69 - later became Frankie and Pepi's. subsequently move to 68 bet Columbus and Bway - 50 cents slices in 1975 Gatherings - great/fresh Chinese -north side of 70th bet Columbus and bway settantedue- later became Sambuco 72nd between CPW and Columbus. Across from Swiss chalet (which later became Dallas BBQ). Famous ray's - NE corner of 72nd and Columbus. Diane's - west side of Columbus 71/72 - connected to seduttos ice cream hunan park - west side of Columbus 71/72. La caridad- 72nd bet Columbus/amst. Of course, the previously mentioned victors, red Barron, fine and Shapiro, peretti's, paparadella, beef steak Charlie's i miss those days - when nyc wasn't so expensive and the west side didn't feel like the east side...
