Date: 2004-05-11 08:00 pm (UTC)Now, about the restaurant: What's the name of it? Is the food good? And is it exactly as Mr. Joel described in the song? In short, is this a place you'd consider taking any out-of-town guests to?

Date: 2004-05-12 06:56 am (UTC)The food's OK, nothing spectacular; I haven't eaten there since..urm..well...a long time; we used to go there to drink in high school sometimes. If someone was a raving Billy Joel fan I might take them there, but I don't go there myself.
