It was owned at the time by my friend Stella Magni who was from Argnetna and also co-owned Caffe del artista on Greenwich avenue. When the east village started to change in the mid nineties, buisness became very slow and Stella had to sell it.<br />I just started a blog where I will post images of lost New York places that I used to go to in the nineties. I was a film student in CCNY and I was always carrying a camera with me. I have great shots of old 42nd street, the meat market, etc...digitizing all of my photos will take time but it will be featured at this adress: <br /> http://galessandrini.blogspot.fr/<br />NEW YORK IN THE 1990's PHOTO ARCHIVEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077121250310832600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-75948923068817863772009-01-08T22:50:00.000-08:002009-01-08T22:50:00.000-08:00i liked Limbo because we had no phone in our apart...i liked Limbo because we had no phone in our apartment and we used the payphone in the back room. ran into one of the girls who worked there recently in brooklyn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-6233581213508553032009-01-06T20:33:00.000-08:002009-01-06T20:33:00.000-08:00Part of me hated Limbo, too.

Even my late Dad, a total fish out of water in most Manhattan restaurants, liked it. Must have been the weissbier, which was pretty uncommon at the time in EV establishments. Or in Manhattan, generally, for that matter.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-42607241723960281852009-01-06T11:00:00.000-08:002009-01-06T11:00:00.000-08:00I venture to guess that Siracusa was a Sicilian re...I venture to guess that Siracusa was a Sicilian restaurant.
