I...Do you know if Louis X Garfunkle is still alive?<br />I would love to get in contact with him.<br />I have several photos inside Max's Busy Bee. My grandfather, Nathan Handwerker, who started Nathan's Famous in Coney Island worked<br />at Max's for approximately 4 years and kept 3 photos from 1912-1914 that were taken there. <br />You can contact me at Lloydhandwerker@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Lloyd Handwerkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-15319615337995773182012-03-01T07:25:49.200-08:002012-03-01T07:25:49.200-08:00The NYPL has a huge menu collection, and all of th...The NYPL has a huge menu collection, and all of the menus are currently being transcribed.

Finding an employer who would take you on faith and shelter you? Expanding a chain a small, local independently owned businesses?
