Re: (erielack) Tad's Steaks (in NYC)

    As far as the Pavonia Ave. station of the Hudson Tubes goes................. U got to think when this was built, there was ONLY the ERIE Station & roundhouse, so YES it probly means the ERIE. Man, sometimes it was scary going down into that station late at night. No more crowds for the ERIE commuter trains, just us few ERIE/EL employees. Not like at Hoboken where thee was a crowd late at night or early in the AM. I noticed that PATH had one track OOS & there was cable rels piled up on the platforms on the other side. I guess they were replacing wiring & figured this was a good place to stash it until used. After all, what would the crooks do??? Roll a huge cable reel up the steps???

Walt,

Two thoughts on this. The first is when I moved to Manhattan in the 70s, 
Tad's were in midtown and downtown and yes it was chewy, but for someone like 
me starting out, it was fine. As I became more established, I gradually 
moved away from Tad's and ate and still eat at places on the Upper West Side 
where I live. But, there was something about Tad's. It definitely served a 
purpose for someone like me and with the baked potato, belly was full. I don't 
recall how much it cost but it was more than $1.99.

The other thing is Pavonia in Jersey City. As many on the list can tell 
you, that area of JC is now called Newport (the Jersey boys will correct me if 
I'm not exactly accurate). Others know more about Newport's development than 
I do but I take PATH there to go to the Newport Centre Mall. It's hard to 
believe that that area was once Erie. Newport Centre has some great shots of 
Erie when you enter at Washington Blvd.

Perhaps some of you Jersey boys can answer this question. In the 
Pavonia/Newport PATH station, the old pillars are still there and engraved on them is 
the letter "E". Is it possible that the letter means Erie? I looked at it 
again when I was there on Thursday evening and made a note to ask the list 
about this.
