Product Description : The Last Fine Time By turns an elegy a celebration and a social history The Last Fine Time is a tour de force of lyrical style Verlyn Klinkenborg chronicles the life of a familyowned restaurant in Buffalo New York from its days as a prewar Polish tavern to its reincarnation as George Eddies a swank nightspot serving highballs and Frenchfried shrimp to a generation of optimistic and prosperous Americans In the inevitable dimming of the neon sign outside the restaurant we see both the passing of an old world way of life and the end to the postwar exuberance that was Eddie Wenzeks last fine time
