Ann Palumbo Monaco – Palumbo’s Tavern
A neighborhood watering hole, Palumbo’s Tavern catered to “locals who were friends with each other, who would come after work, or would just come in to talk. One of my uncles was a truck driver, so occasionally his co-workers would come and Grandma would have something for them to eat. It was just like a meeting place, like Do Drop In. And if they came in just to chat, they didn’t have to have anything to drink. [They were] just there to get the latest news, and updates, whatever was going on in the neighborhood.”.
