I worked at my grandfather's cabinet shop in Vernon one summer in the early Fifties, and one day he--a Socialist who morphed into a FDR-liberal--took me uptown to lunch at Taix. I remember a dark, noisy room, the long tables, sawdust on the floor, and bowls of pickled eggs for the taking. I thought they'd been dipped in ink, like Easter Eggs--I didn't try one.
