Patsy’s Italian Restaurant on 56th St. in NYC has been known for years as the restaurant Frank Sinatra made famous, (before Twitter and Facebook imagine?) Owner/Chef Sal Scognamillo, manning the kitchen for the past 29 years joins me today to share what they’re doing this year to honor Frank Sinatra’s Dec. 12th. birthday. If you know Frank Sinatra’s life story you know he was a skinny kid from the get-go. He was born Dec. 12, 1915, in an upstairs tenement at 415 Monroe Street in Hoboken, New Jersey. The only child of Italian immigrants “Marty” and “Dolly” weighing only 13.5 pounds at birth and had to be delivered with the aid of forceps.
The ‘skinny’ problem changed the minute he first stepped into Patsy’s Ha! His family still dines there whenever they are in town and Patsy’s has become a favorite with countless stars on both the east and west coasts.
You’ll love the stories when Sal Joins me at 10:35 eastern today.
