I have looked and looked, and for some reason, it seems I have never posted a photo of the old Cup and Saucer diner, on Canal street, on Lost City. That's just not as it should be. So here one is.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006. Contact Me
I have lived in New York City since 1988 and earn my bread as a writer. I began this blog in January 2006. Beyond that, don't be so nosy.

One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.

To a long life for the Cup and Saucer...
L'chaim! Indeed. If only it were as real inside as it is outside, but hell, they do make some good french toast and the folks there are pretty nice.
Would it be superficial of me to judge a diner by its ampersand? Very well, I'll be superficial. I'm totally going in that place.
wha? it is very real inside, as real as it gets around here these daysw
