Feltman’s Coney Island Restaurant Changing Hands
The writer reflects on Feltman’s famous Coney Island restaurant, noting its 72 years of history and fame with mentions of the old place’s size, numerous eateries, and price notes from a long-ago full course dinner. The column also parodies wartime and postwar life, jokes about dieting, and bits on Henry Ford and a humorous 1947 convention choice, ending with a quip about Governor Dewey signing a bill to raise New York’s speed limit to 60 mph.
