Trying to eat a kitchen sink at Jahn's on Church and Flatbush. Camp Omega reunions at the American Legion Hall on Avenue N. Avey's Five and Dime, Mark's Deli on Ave. T. Hanging out at Strickland Park. Nathan's, Lundy's, Junior's. McBurney's boat yard (now Kings Plaza). Floyd Bennett Field. Farmer's market (now Toys R Us). Coney Island. Sheepshead Bay. Stoopball, Skelly, Ring-a-levio.
