Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

ALL - I found a 'coupon' while I was packing some stuff. Park Slope got an honorable mention.

I used to stop at the NY Doughboy's Bagel Store (Route 22) for coffee and bagels on my way to work. As you'd guess, the owners were from NY.

One day they started offering Bialys and I was so excited. Many people
do not know what Bialys are...

Anyway, the owner asked me if I'd do an advertisement coupon for them,
introducing bialys....

Wish I could scan it...

AND

My quote next to my picture:

"Finally, A place with all the baked goods of my youth.
I smell the bread & coffee every morning as I drive up
Route 22"

read my quote you said youuuts, got it... .
