Mary Tieri writes that in the 70's back in the day she and her friends would go lunch at Woolworth's lunch counter because it "was inexpensive." In 1973, they had a tradition that they "... always went to Captain Frank's for dinner every Friday evening. We miss that place (and) wish they would bring it back." When she was working in downtown, Mary recalled going to Pat Joyce's Tavern for lunch. She said that they had "... good food there. People were always so kind." She says, "I loved all 3 of these restaurants. Wish we could bring them back. ... Great memories of all these places. Those were the days in the '70s." (2019)
