20th.

 

No grilling.

Ttbomk is a weird nickname for Johnny but I'm glad I know it now.  

 

Hospitality.  Does that mean hooker?

Am certain there have been hookers in the establishment at times through the years, but they weren't sanctioned.

The business began during the depression & still is going strong today.

Nope.  Closer to a Mecca.

Italian, began during depression still going strong, co-founder, genius.  Mecca was the clue that really made me think of Anchor Bar. Wife....mother.  Gotta be her, right?
