EGGS, BLOODY MARYS & JAZZ

 

There was time to kill

since the next train

was at 5:38AM.

 

Fortunately, Manhattan

always offered options.

An all night diner

or a 4:00AM bar; 24 hour deli.

 

A favorite haunt back in the day

was the Jazz Cultural Theatre

on 8th Ave between 28th and 29th ST

 

They had a residency 

with legendary drummer Art Blakey

on Saturday night (Sunday morning:

from 3:00AM to 7:00AM

 

A legend for 15 bucks

and you could get drinks or breakfast

and pair it with jazz.

 

Eggs, Bloody Marys and Jazz

It was a blast.

A couple times

I even missed the 5:38

and had to catch the 6:38

 

I was young & insane

so it never phased me.

I was living on the edge

but it always seemed 

to provide its own rewards.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a wonderful place with a short life back in the 80's
