Mets owned the town.
The Nova Theater in Harlem that was too cold. LOL. It was like watching a movie in a freezer.
Tad's Steaks was actually good, and worth the wait on the line. I remember any time my family and I were around 34th, we would always go.
McDonald's food in Styrofoam.
Boomboxes.
Being afraid to walk around with a Walkman, when they first came out.
