Blast From the Past

We ate lunch at Schlinker's hamburger joint this week - 42 years since our last date there! This tiny restaurant has been on Ganson Street since 1927 and run by the same family. It is near the hospital where I went to nursing school so we went there frequently to avoid the hospital cafeteria food! It is a small box of a place with just enough room to get in and sit at the "U" shaped counter - about 14 stools. It feels like you are all dining at the same table. They only serve hamburgs and pie. We met a couple that work at the hospital. She has worked there since 1966 when I started the nursing program so we both knew many nurses and staff. A nice trip down memory lane!
