The bagel bakery next door is a classic – it is still there

there used to be a Chicken Delight next door as well

I used to go to the Apollo Theatre up to the mid to late 60’s where I used to see Jerry Lewis films and many Vincent Price classics. They had delicious hot dogs. Around that same time they had a live show around Halloween that was always a sell out. The 7th Precient used to be right next door and they had their PAL events there every Christmas. There was a cool toy store across the street and I once saw Robert Kennedy at a campaign stop on the same street. It went out of favor as people started going to the Essex Theatre a few blocks away for their films – or the Delancey Theatre (where I saw the Batman movie).
