"Sophie's...remains a good place to stop time"

I finally watched the "Disappearing Manhattan" episode of "No Reservations" (this after blabbering away about it the last three months!). It debuted Monday night, and will air several more times. Grub Street yesterday provided a nice synopsis of what the episode covered.

In particular, I was interested in the last segment, in which Anthony Bourdain shoots the shit with Nick Tosches at Sophie's. It was all of about three minutes (and the shoot at Sophie's took nearly three hours, I was told).

Here's most of what transpired at Sophie's....

Anyone remember Kilroy's Bar on 6th Ave and 42-43 Streets. What a dump but what old timers...

And what about the Christmas Bar on 43th Street off 6th Avenue. In the middle of July you could hear Christmas carols coming from their juke box...I guess they didn't last long.
