Wonderful to hear about continuity and nostalgia satisfied. It's so rare to have owners respect the history of a place, even if the food is just fine. Sometimes, we just need fine. Sometimes, the location and people make up for it. Thanks for the piece!
I love an old guy lunch(or coffee) gang and all their customs, etc. my dad's is called the Little Romeos, they meet twice a week (during covid they would bring their lunches & folding chairs and sit socially distanced in the temple parking lot). once in a very fancy mall in Istanbul we came across another group, all hanging out at a starbucks - my dad struck up a conversation with one of the guys and he told us they call themselves The Prostate Gang.
