It's great for me to hear that Grendel's is still there. I used to love to go there for their Sour Cream Chocolate cake.

I don't imagine Elsie's diner is there (and also Tommy's). I loved to get bagels at Elsie's of a morning, knowing that the bagel would be infused with whatever else was on the grill that morning.

Elsie's has been gone for a good couple of decades. I loved their sandwiches and thick frappes (which were called Westerns as I recall).
