He always treated me like a Nephew that he… Continue

Mute from Manny's Forsythe Street Store
Hi, Ian, and many thanks. Yes, of course this would be way back before both our times. But I just thought you'd have heard about the store, being in the family. Attached is a photo of a mute I own that has a Manny's store sticker to verify the Forsyth Street store. This is so strange! how no one remembers the store. Online, all I've found was a quote mentioning Manny's Forsyth store, taken form a 1930 publication, Rian James' Dining in New York.… Continue

memories from (my uncle) Steve Chapin
Ah yes. . . Henry. Always a hot experience for me at Manny's.It was there in the 70's (Harry with albums and Tom on tv with Make a Wish), that he referenced me as the "no-talent Chapin" one occasion while Tom and I were shopping there - it was actually very funny at the time, a Rodney Dangerfield moment.
