Little Italy Celebrates and Gives Thanks

70 Years Ago Today… “Armenian-Type Foods Well Adapted to War Time…”

“The makings of most Armenian dishes may be bought at reasonable prices in the uptown Armenian grocery stores on Third Ave., between 25th and 27th Sts…”

“…quiet, pleasant and unhurried… no written menus. Diners may wander into kitchen and make selections…”
Not much of the old Armenian neighborhood is left… Arax Grocery, 350 Third Ave. is now a Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt store; H. Anooshian, 360 Third Ave., is the Mad Hatter Saloon; The Aurora Inn, 105 Lexington Ave. is a Dry Cleaner; The Balkan Armenian Restaurant, 129 East 27th St. is an Indian Restaurant; Erivan, 154 East 27th St. – the building does not exist… All that remains, that we can think of: Kalustyans, founded in 1944; Apel’s New Day Tailor Shop, 203 E 27th St.; and the Armenian Church, 221 East 27th Street…

PM Daily, August 1, 1943
The news about Mussolini comes to Broadway and 42d St.
This is how Joe Doakes received the news last Sunday that the Italians had kicked out Mussolini. Joe didn’t start waving his hat. He looked surprised, thoughtful – wary. Joe, in this case, was the New Yorker who, on his way into one of the first-run movie palaces in Times Square… had just spotted the CBS news flash… Weegee, who snapped away unnoticed by his subjects. “I would say they were hopefully waiting to see Adolf’s name up there, too.”
