This was posted on a Brooklyn Facebook group. Cookys was a popular restaurant on Avenue M near where I grew up. Someone kept a menu from the mid 1960’s I think. My favorite meal there was the Cookyburger. A 5 oz. Burger, delicious large fries with a couple of jumbo onion rings, and a pickle which I ate and the lettuce and tomato which I tossed aside. The price .85. Or if I was really hungry I’d go for a Jumbo Cookyburger, twice as much for $1.35. Add a coca-cola which was served in a real glass for another .15 and I was good to go.

That Romanian pastrami sounds delicious. On black rye with onions and brown spicy mustard, if you please.

Cookie. Not like the cutie from 77 Sunset Strip, Edd Byrnes who was famous for “Kookie, Kookie, Lend me your Comb” Damn I’m old remembering all this crap from over a half century ago, lol.

This morning when I heard that Brigitte Bardot passed away at age 91, it reminded me of when I was a teenager how all my friends used to talk about how hot she and Jayne Mansfield were, and I remained silent. We’d go to movies together but I would silently enjoy Paul Newman films much more than Bridgette. I always knew that guys were my thing from a young age.

Obviously it’s sad that she died, but Brigitte was a symbol to me of what they all liked and how I felt the need to keep quiet. Just some old time thoughts from my youth flashed through my head today.

If you wanted to have lunch with me back then juanjo, I’d have taken you to my favorite Kosher deli two blocks away from Cookys on the same avenue. Nothing like a pastrami on rye with mustard and a Dr. Browns black cherry soda.

For some reason after making the above post this comes to mind.
