Artic Fish
& Chips
Does anybody remember Artic Fish
& Chips on Brookside Ave in West Warwick? They had the best
fish and chips anywhere, all wrapped in white paper then
newspaper. I remember lines out the door on Wednesday and Friday
afternoons, and the old lady in the tortoise shell glasses and
cut off sweater arms dishing out the fish. And you can’t
forget the greasy oil splotches in the newspaper by the time you
got home. How I wish I had the recipe for their batter and what
type of old they used. They were the greatest and I haven’t
found anything even close yet. I believe they closed down
sometime in the early 70’s???
Thanks,
Bob

"There used
to be a joint in Cumberland called Tom's Lunch that had the best weenies
around....it was right by Lippetts Estates. Also there was another place
over by Newport Ave....I can't remember the name Ziggy's or something
like that. My dad had a store on Dexter Street in C.F. and there were a
bunch of great greasy spoons a block or away....Stanley's Hamburgers had
the greasiest burgers in C.F. but they were friggen good. But no one
ever has talked about Hilda's Variety in Valley Falls and those little
French pork pies....I'd kill for one of those suckas right
now......along with some clams from Mr Lee's in Cumberland or Tweet
Balzanos down by the water. Are you hungrey yet?"

Hey
youse fahgot to mention the famous "lunch Wagons" aka
roach coaches, that used to inhabit Kennedy Plaza in da old
daze. Mosty Famously Haven Bros., and Alfredo's Mobile Lunch.
While Havem Bros. is not considered you're traditional Weiner,..
that never stopped all of us from calling them "Belly
Bustahs". On the other hand,..... Alfredo's Mobile lunch
had the best Pepperoni and egg sandwich on a grinder roll that
ever was, and
at 2:00am,... that was all I ever wanted although I had both
Belly Bustahs and Alfredo's the same night from time to time. Of
course,.....this was when youse could "cruise" Kennedy
Plaza in your 64 Chevy and drive around in circles lookin cool.
Just thought you'd want to put these in as well.
