Billy N is right - Corky's has tp be the one. it was a diner, before the Greeks took over the diner franchise. quote: Originally posted by Billy N:
There was only one restaurant on the E. side of the Concourse across from Alexanders, that was Corky's, which was basically a diner. There was a counter in the front and booths in the rear, they served all sorts of food. I used to meet my mom there after getting off the D train on my way home from work and we'd have dinner there. I've eaten there many many times.
Sutter's was a bakery and they used to have a tea room, but that was really only for cakes and pastries and sandwiches at lunch time.

During my senior year in HS 68/69..I worked after school for John Ward Shoes on Fordham Road near Elm Place. Every afternoon I would always go by GORMANS on the way for two of the best Hot Dogs in the Bronx...never got tired of them!!

Yes, it was called the 167th St Cafeteria (no kidding). The Waldorf Cafeteria was up on 170th St.

The restaurant was Corky's. Carol's was on the same side of the street as Alexanders. Sutter's was mostly pastries.There was also a G & R bakery on Kingsbrige Road.
