I was heartbroken when the Howard Johnson’s in Times Square closed. That was my place that mattered in a part of town I hated.

Apparently Prime is midtown east, which is why I’ve never been there. I didn’t go to the east side above Union Square when I lived in NY. Prime is remarkably similar to 3 different diners I can remember, only not by name, just by look and memory and taste.

Now I want a tuna melt.

We can’t give The General a history that spans centuries but if there’s one thing that LA has taught me it’s that you don’t need to have a long history to have an important history. All it takes is the type of respect that indicates you intend to be around in a century.

Jess and I are starting to find our footing on making The General real.
