My grandmother's first job in NYC after immigrating from Ireland was working as a waitress at a Schrafft's.

In the late 1950s, a friend and I went to lunch at the afore mentioned 13th & 5th Ave Schraffts. It was a hot muggy summer's day, we were wearing dress shirts and neckties but no jackets. We were allowed in only after we agreed to wear jackets supplied by Schraffts .they were waiter's jackets.

Schrafft's. A place where women could go and dawdle. How many other places offer that experience? There was a Schrafft at 13th and 5th Avenue before it became the Lone Star Cafe. Oops? What happened to the Lone Star Cafe and the larger than life Iguana that slept upon its roof?
