  • Are there any left?

    For a while there were some restaurants/bars named after our team: The Brooklyn Dodger on Third Avenue in Brooklyn, and a place called Ebbets Field (I think) on Long Island.

    The Dodger has been gone for several years now, and I don't know about the place on Long Island.

    Are there any such places left?

    Though I haven't been there is quite some time, I understand that the EBBETS FIELD CAFE, which is in Hicksville, is still there.

    There is also a Diner on 57th Street in Manhattan, which I think is called the BROOKLYN DODGER Diner. The NYT did a write-up on it a few years ago.

      Years ago there was an Ebbets Field Cafe in Denver, Colorado. I don't know if it still is there.

          The Diner on West 57th Street in Manhattan is the Brooklyn Diner, distinguished by its "Brooklyn" fare and a large mural which resembles (but not exactly) the view of Ebbets Field from the catcher's position. There are a few other minor references and decorations that refer or relate to the Dodgers.

            I was surfing for more historical tidbits on Ebbets Field, and I came upon a CD featuring the '70s guitarist Tommy Bolin saying, "Live from Ebbets Field." I thought, what? So I looked for more info.

            This was a small music club in the '70s -- before it closed in 1976, it hosted a lot of big names. It was run by a guy called Chuck Morris who has become one of Denver's biggest music promoters. Sure enough, he grew up in Brooklyn, just blocks from the ballpark.

              The owner of the cafe once was sued by the Dodgers for copyright infringment. The owner won.

              I passed by the place everyday it seemed, but neevr went in. My father was a Dodger fan and we had always talked about going there, but never did.
              Let's go Mets!
