When I came back to live here in 1989, I could not find it anymore, and I wondered where it was.

There's one on 15th, just east of 8th - ironically around the corner from where the more upscale Rue Des Crepes used to be.<br />Crepes, along with Coq au Vin, Brie, and Beef Bourginon are the the dishes I most associate with the Gourmet revolution of the 70s.roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983664516272254919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-23473960094336339092012-04-25T20:59:26.826-07:002012-04-25T20:59:26.826-07:00OMG- on my first trip to NY, to audition for SUNY...OMG- on my first trip to NY, to audition for SUNY Purchase, I ate there with my parents.

It was (as I found out by reading Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Pan ) a national, not a local chain. As you can see from the photo, it's pretty nondescript. It's really not 1970s NYC, it's 1970s anywhere.Mitchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-53036511776083550022012-04-23T14:32:01.609-07:002012-04-23T14:32:01.609-07:00I remember the 'Magic Pan' in Manhasset on...I remember the 'Magic Pan' in Manhasset on Northern Blvd.JBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-39561872526606712212012-04-23T12:21:32.126-07:002012-04-23T12:21:32.126-07:00Looks like I misspoke...there's still a J &...Looks like I misspoke...there's still a J & H too!
