1122 Anderson Street, The Burg



1122 Anderson Street, The Burg
The corner of Anderson Street and Genesee Street.
Once Cent'Anni Restaurant and Bar. A Burg Legend for over
25 years. Remember the picture of Felix the Cat on the
outside wall on Anderson Street?

  1. I remember the bar as Count Felix, never Cent' Anni, but I could be wrong.

  2. Hi Tom M:)
    In the search box atop the blog
    type in

    801 Anderson

    That will show you Count Felix's
    Bar and it has a few comments on it from folks you might know.
    Cent'Anni was 1122 Anderson only
    a few blocks away so its easy to
    see how someone could mix them
    up especially it being a long time
    ago:)

  3. Tom, methinks this place is at the corner of Anderson and Genesee St. I was never thereunder the Cent'Anni management. Before that (1950s and 1960s)the room was know as the Steven Lewis Tavern. Steve was a close friend of the family.

    "Count" Felix Nowicki was a few blocks away, as mack notes, at 801 Anderson at the corner of Rusling.

    At my age, I am happy to have had drinks in both establishments.
