Comment on A NY Past… Moon Palace and the Marlin Bar by allan

Moon Palace didn’t close until January, 1991. Here’s the NYT article about its closing: http://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/26/nyregion/mourning-moon-palace-a-place-to-eat-and-be-at-home.html.

I also used to eat there, though not too regularly, in the late 80’s. I also remember the Marlin Bar, and now miss all those old places that used to be around. Morningside Heights is now like a huge mall anymore.

Now some of these landlords are getting what they deserve in the economic downturn after kicking out some old but dependable tenants, only to have their spaces sit empty for months or even years…

Dylan,

Good thoughts! I appreciate hearing about Old New York and lament its gradual loss. I just saw that Morningside Books, formerly Papyrus, closed. When will this end?

Man, we had good times at The Marlin. In some ways, I came of age in there.

Do you have other old photos of the neighborhood? That’s a great shot of the bar.

Here are a couple of pieces you may find interesting:

Talk to you soon,
Dan

Thanks for posting this!! I LOVED Pete Korelich. He used to print record labels for me back in the 1990’s. he was the LAST guy who did the real old school style of record labels, made with letterpress printers and linotype machines. It was like a trip back to the 1950’s in his shop. I assumed that he died but I never heard any details. I miss him a lot, he was always very very kind to me, and he did great work. Thanks for the photo, it brought back great memories for me.

Congratulations Dylan – these look fantastic. I’m not a fashion person but these pictures are very striking and look incredibly polished and pro to me. My hat goes off to you not only for your immense talent but for your unyielding perseverence in pursuing your passion and doing what you love. Very inspiring!

Beautiful. Thank you. Where I live, the desert, autumn is an entirely different and far more subtle experience.
