Tecumseh said...: Coanda was in NYC in 1965, to receive the Harry Diamond Laboratories Award. He must have gone through Queens on his way from La Guardia or JFK. And who knows what he came up with during that time.; 9/08/2012 9:20 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: During that time he came up with the notion of Dutch Treat [after those with him suggested the guy with the new Award spring for lunch].; 9/08/2012 10:45 AM
Tecumseh said...: Coanda was tight with his money, yes. You think he was Dutch?; 9/08/2012 11:00 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Dutch he was, for the purposes of a Broolyn political figure lamenting the nasty practices of those New Amsterdam slaveholders in the year 1898.; 9/08/2012 11:17 AM
Tecumseh said...: I used to eat pizzas at V & T, on Amsterdam Avenue. They were quite good. And I still remember buying once a slice for only 25 cents! But I would always go Dutch.; 9/08/2012 11:44 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: On Amsterdam Avenue, you could go no other way...
...now, how do we go back in time to the days of good pizza for a quarter a slice?; 9/08/2012 11:56 AM
Tecumseh said...: Actually, I bought that slice for a quarter a couple of blocks away -- on B'way, around 109th. I think at V&T you could only order a whole pizza: with toppings and stuff, plus tax and tip, I think that came out to about 50 cents per slice, which seemed kind of expensive (but still worth it) at the time. Another excellent deal were the sandwiches at the deli on B'way: for about $1.50 I'd get an enormous pastrami sub with all sorts of cheese and stuff.; 9/08/2012 1:04 PM
Mr roT said...: Pastrami with cheese??
Treif.

Probably a thermojet of his non-kosher lunch.; 9/08/2012 4:58 PM
