I loved the original Tony's on James. I can't remember where Symeon's was before moving to Commercial Drive. Where were they before that? At one time I lived only a block away from Tony's on West St. It was a favorite Friday night dinner spot for myself and my first wife.

Wasn't Tony's pizza on James St "Tony's Spaghetti House"?
I remember Leo's.
Does anyone remember the name of the ice cream place that was Arnold Ave?

Tony's spagetti house is where I used to eat. I left the neighborhood in the 70's, so I don't know about the Tony's Pizza thing.

Yeah, it was originally "Tony's Spaghetti House", great food back in its day.
Now it is just a dive.
Symeon's originally came to be on Oneida Street just south of the corner of Grant Street. (After they moved out it turned into the "Dirty Little Monkey Bar".)
Then they started another up on Genesee Street in N.H., realizing he could do both, he gradually closed down the Oneida St. location and then a bit later they again moved to where they are now.
Gosh, I think I was jus going into high school when they first opened.

I thought Tony's Pizza (as opposed to Tony's Spaghetti) was the place on the corner in North Utica.

Symeon was the night Assistant Manager at McDonald's in New Hartford when I worked thare while going attending MVCC and Hameline's Bar & Grill just after the Air Force.
And yes I'm also a past customer of Tony's Spaghetti House.

No Dave, there was a soft serve place when you turned down Arnold Ave, on the left hand side of the street, next to the Uptown Dandee Donuts. I almost think it was King of the Frosties or something like that. They gave you a large ice cream cone, that had to be balanced with care until you ate at least half of it, or it would tip over. LOVE THAT BLACK RASPBERRY SOFT SERVE!

Ralph's right (as he usually is). Symeon's was in a small bldg. between "Three Guesses" tavern & the Byrne Dairy mini-mall on Oneida & Grant St. back in the late 70s. My apartment was right around the corner from them when I was in college & I used to go there for their $1.00 piece of spinach pie, which was made with philo pastry (I'm sure it has a different name). Damn, was that ever great.

It was a Dairy Isle; there were several in the city. The last one was on Burstone Rd near Slocum and closed about ten years ago.
All their fruit Sundaes were super!

Aren't they still in N. Utica on Coventry, Wilum? Stoney, that one was originally a Dairy Queen, the only one in Utica and still operates as one? The Dairy Isles I remember were; Arnold Ave, Burstone Rd, Culver Ave near where is now Chanatries, Whitesboro St, it's a Pizza place now but still has a cone shape sign. And I'm thinking there was one on Rugter St or someplace near my original homestead at South and Conkling. |

Aren't they still in N. Utica on Coventry, Wilum? My parents lived in the Steinhorst Senior Apartments in the early 1980's. I stamped prices on food in the early 1960's at the store in the plaza, a Chicago Markets at the time. |
