I always went to Eddies Diner after the bars closed. It was always a good time. There was another down on Quincy Ave that everyone went to after hours but I forget the name.

The seafood salad there was outstanding. Sad to hear it is no more. Is Jake Wirth still around? He loved that place, too.
Jacob Wirth's is still there. A great place for lunch or dinner. I'm getting hungry.

Oh, RE: that silly painting in the bar, it was for "men only." Locke-Ober was a landmark case back in the days when feminists were demanding their rights to dine at the "mens' bar" and enjoy the painting.

there was a red coach Grill in Braintree which I did really like near the Mall. The Bookie places I think way back then the cops also would use them and look the other way.

I know no one remembers the White Rabbit. We used to always stop there on the way to the Cape for lunch. I used to save the blue and white paper place mats that had rabbits all over them.

I still miss Jack and Marion's Jewish Deli in Coolidge Corner, Brookline. The sandwiches were piled so high with pastrami, corned beef, etc. there was plenty to take home.
Great choice for Baileys and it was so good I also was at Jack and Marions a few times and they had ads on WMEX I think good olde Jerry Williams would say to visit them. Ghilchrist had the best datenut bread with cream cheese and macaroons were so good!

Default Lum's is Back!

I can think of Riley's Roast Beef in South Lawrence. Arby's has nothing on these huge roast beef sandwiches and thick shakes!

Anybody else remember Lum's? It was a chain, and I mostly recall the one in Salem, NH. There were tiffany lamps over each table, and the hamburgers had "Ollie Sauce" which was like spicy thousand island dressing.

How about York's Steak House? There was one at Methuen Mall and (I think) one near Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers. As a kid I loved having my own tray and picking out my dessert from the cafeteria line. The faux medieval decor was great, too.

Finally, anybody else remember Ruggles Pizza? There was one in Downtown Crossing and one in Harvard Square (probably more locations). They had pizzas with cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella. Loved them.

Alas, these are all no more...what do you remember of long gone restaurants in and around Mass.???
Good news, there are two Lum's located in Seekonk, Mass.! Turns out some locals, forever in love with Lum's, decided to bring it back — and successfully did so by purchasing the rights to the recipes and the Lum’s name.

Hi, in newengland, I posted earlier in this thread on the White Rabbit in Wareham. I guess it is a tiny bar now under a different name, but the building still stands.

We liked to stop there on Sunday drives. On E-Bay once I saw an old placemat from the WR from the 1930s; I guess back in the day it was a tea-room. I liked the toasted bread they served.
