"And it's entirely possible my salad was served by Jonathan Larson, who spent ten years at Moondance waiting tables"
A three-foot-high view offered a privileged way to observe a city’s food scene. Childhood meals in New York felt as familiar and comfortable as classrooms, with parents who could boil water but needed help beyond that. Family moves from Chelsea to areas near City Hall and then to Tribeca placed the narrator near restaurants that welcomed children. Hamburger Harry’s featured bold cobalt-blue walls, a pink ceiling, and Deco all-caps signage. A second location near Times Square shared a newspaper column about new restaurants with Le Bernardin. Moondance Diner’s rotating crescent moon drew attention, and its pop-retro design was later linked to Alan Buchsbaum, with the possibility that Jonathan Larson served there while waiting tables for years.
