This is a great site. I didn't grow up in the Burg, but my mother and grandmother did. I remember the SoHo, great place, and La Gondola.
Thank You MaryAnn:)

ahhhhh, the memories. As a child (before the age of 10) we lived on Emory Avnue across the street from the 'playground'. For the life of me, I can not think of the name of a Tomatoe Pie place that was on Whittaker just a little past Roebling. I think by the time we moved to Hamilton TWP, this place had closed down. Do you know the place I'm talking about? Thanks!
Picas?? 461 Whittaker Avenue.
Owner Dominick Pica ???
If this is not it I will make a
post asking folks about it.
Gee, that name is not ringing a bell. Not sure why, but I keep thinking it started with a C. Hey, that was a loooooong time ago..lol..Funny enough, I can see it as clear as yesterday where it was and what it looked like inside. Booths on both sides with the counter straight back. Kinda like DeLorrenzo's on Hamilton, but it was more open. I would love to see what your reader's take is on this...thanks!!
Claudili Luiciano 502 Whittaker
Avenue listed as a restaurant.

I did a google map search of the area..wow, what did they do to the playground?..It looks like a park..very nice. anyway, the place I'm thinking of would be in the 463 area of whittaker Ave. Ok, we are on a mission..lol..

area of Whittaker in the 60s..

Mike, I'm thinking you are right and looking at the addresses, guess it was Dominicks...Wish someone would answer who was in the place..lol..
I worked in a food wholesaler place on Hamilton Ave. (Trenton Grocery), and a store owner always came in (Little Willie) raving about La Gondola
