Grand Reopening of Golden Chicken & Ribs - now serving Mexican Breakfast from 6AM daily folks! - Jon Hammond
Main man Marco - the hardest working man in the chicken business:
Big congratulations and welcome back to the neighborhood - main man Marco and Golden Chicken & Ribs in their brand-new location, good friends of Jon Hammond Band Band! New Location: 533 9th Avenue beteen 39th and 40th St. New York, NY 10018 - take out delivery like they're standing right outside your door, delicious food. Marco is the hardest working man in the Chicken business. I used to tell him, "Marco when it rains it pours Cats and Dogs...but when it snows, it's snowing Chickens!" - lots of delivery calls when it rains and snows - they just reopened after a 2 year absence 3 days ago, congratulations Marco and Golden Chicken Team!
Sincerely, Jon Hammond & Band *Note: There will be a full bar as soon as the liquor license is granted - Marco and his boys worked on the place night and day for 3 months, it looks great and big TV's up on the wall - and music planned in future folks! — at Golden Chicken & Ribs
It's Party Time at Big Mike's Cupcake Cafe on Ninth Avenue, when Mike parties he doesn't mess around! Best Baker in New York City
- he makes the Cakes for the Stars folks - my good timing luck to come by and see him tonight!
Support Cupcake Café, a neighborhood treasure and good long-time friend to Jon Hammond Band - years ago I had a gig coming up and I was going around the neighborhood putting up fliers - Mike saw my fliers and right away he offered to put one up right front and center in window of his shop - we've been good friends ever since. The great Jazz Photographer Elmar Lemes says Mike makes the BEST Coffee, and he come all the way from Munich (München) and goes directly to Mike's Cupcake Cafe - right on Mike...and great to hear your daughter is in town, big Happy Holidays to Mike and his team of Bakers! Sincerely, Jon Hammond
