Amy Ruth's at Gage and Tollner
February 23, 2008, 1:11.23 am ET
It's nice to know that some things never die. When Gage and Tollner, New York's oldest restaurant (est. 1879), became a T.G.I Friday's it was as if the city lost a bit of its soul. The restaurant, built in a Brooklyn townhouse, was known for its working gaslights, ornate wood paneling and sophisticated service, not red-striped tables. So it is very nice to report that Cage and Tollner is about to get its soul back. Amy Ruth's, a Harlem mainstay for Southern comfort food, has taken over the place and is currently renovating. We wish Amy Ruths at Cage and Tollner much success. Hopefully, it will be restored to its original glory. more
