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?

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

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:)

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.
