NY restaurant parties like it's 1908
A legendary Italian restaurant in New York turned 100 years old Thursday -- and so did its prices.
John's of 12th Street, a cosy spot popular with the stars, celebrated with a lunch menu costing pennies, not dollars, just like back in 1908.
The chicken parmigana dish went for 75 cents instead of the regular 14.95 dollars, manicotti at 75 cents, not 10.95 dollars, and baked clams at 50 cents, rather than 10.95 dollars.
For 1.10 dollars, the time travelling diner could pack in an appetizer, main dish, dessert and cup of coffee.
The lower Manhattan restaurant, opened by Italian immigrant John Pucciatti, has been the haunt of famous visitors ranging from former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis to rocker Pete Townsend and Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise.
