You could enter through the Vanderbilt Hall (main waiting room) side and I believe they also had a outside door. Might have been on the corner of 42nd and Lexington Ave. Liggett's drug store was to it's right (looking from the inside). They served a good breakfast and their cheeseburgers were very good for lunch. Don't really know what they might have had for dinner. Outside of GCT on the other side of 42nd Street was the Horn & Hardardt Automat.Kathy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452013435590856411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206380617235471991.post-12903718798073461472009-12-18T16:29:07.054-05:002009-12-18T16:29:07.054-05:00It does look like Cobb's Restaurant which was ...It does look like Cobb's Restaurant which was attached to the Taft Hotel back in the 60's.

I've seen a few pictures of the front in about 1960-70s but have been unable to find what happened to them. They served hot dogs and burgers at one end, glasses of beer at stand up bar in one corner and a working bar with hard liquor on the other side. I was in at the beer bar a few times until one day they were shut down. Looked like they were condemned. <br /><br />http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/GRANTS-HOT-DOGS-TIMES-SQUARE-m238106.aspx<br /><br />Thanks, Mick<br /><br />http://www.mykoladementiuk.comMykola Dementiukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267125930152870083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206380617235471991.post-24030362322131412472009-12-03T18:57:38.462-05:002009-12-03T18:57:38.462-05:00Oops, you're right.
