You know it was the spot, beloved for a particular sandwich, lamented. Storied! Meyer Lansky ate here! Typical:
Wilfred Cohen was an opener. He’d buy or start up a restaurant and once it became a success he would sell it for a nice profit. The former Catskills busboy came to Miami Beach around 1940 and bought Al’s Sandwich Shop on 23rd St. off Collins Ave., selling it after turning it into a popular spot “known coast to coast.”
Overstuffed sandwiches were his ticket.
Waned, then left.
On the left: a restaurant stool from Peter's Grill in Minneapolis. How about that.
