1. It ain't gonna be the same. It never matches the memories, but...

with Horn&Hardart, the Automat, Nedick's and all the other places I used to grab a quick bite at gone, maybe it will be nice to stop in.

(The reverse discrimination all-black hiring policy and no tipping policies are probably history, along with the non-whipped cream cheese.)

2. Prexy's

"The hamburger with a college education." In my day it was 45 cents and the Strawberry short-cake (with soft Ice Cream) was great too.:9

3. I went there last week

The coffee was as I remembered it --- very good. I also got a sugared donut. It was beyond great. It was an orgasmic experience that I shared with the man behind me in line.
I think it was as good for him as it was for me.

5. I thought this was going to be a reference to Paladino campaigning in NYC

No joke!

6. I thought "Chock Full o’Nuts Returns" was a reference to the computerized voting tallies

Not joking, either!

7. "A better coffee ...

... a millionaire's money can't buy."

8. Cream cheese sandwich on nut and raisin bread

Bloomberg would have a heart attack!

9. Chock Full o'Nuts is that heavenly coffee

Better coffee a millionaire's (formerly "Rockefeller's" till Rocky sued) money can't buy

12. I've got to tell you...

...that I think of the phrase Chock Full o' Nuts and Bolts more often than is healthy in a person of my age. Thanks for providing evidence that I'm not the only one.
