The Happy Note

Jack the bartender who would get you hammered on two drinks.


Newbies would order and drink and they would choke on the amount of liquor and he make them another drink and instruct them to order it light next time...

What's the real story behind Pedigo's closing? Don Pedigo used to walk around the restaurant worrying everyone.
