See you at Dubrow’s!

This was written by Deborah Dash Moore, who wrote one of the articles in Nosh and Kibbutz. It’s a great history of the significance of cafeterias in NYC in general, I’ve photographed her history of Dubrow’s.  I did not know the original incorporate name was Dubrow’s Pure Food!  

I also didn’t know about the court case against the waiters union in 1932!  This reflects my cousin Joe’s oral history about union busting activity occurring in my family’s restaurant. 

New book out about Dubrow's Cafeteria!

I've gotten a hold of Marcia Bricker Halperin's new book of photographs and essays about Dubrow's Cafeteria.  I'll be sharing some text excerpts over the next few months, but I suggest all lovers of Dubrow's go out and order your copy!  It's gorgeous and while Marcia has graciously shared many of her photographs here on this blog, this book contains so many more.  You won't be sorry to have them in your home.
