Reader Comments on Adam's Apple

 

RIP Felix! Your club was pretty much the only on e I ever went to -- even had my Sweet 16 there.

He was murdered July 30, 2009 in NYC at the age of 90.

Most will never know the effect that this place had back in the day. In 1973-74-75, this was the hopping joint for the bridge and tunnel crowd. Everyone was dressed up all the time. The place had two suspended dance floors, great food, great music. The first place to have video games, remember Pong? Drinks were in big glasses, there were nice booths to sit at, a little lounge in the back, interior decorations that looked like the garden of eden. Just think, this club was open all the way to the late 90's, that is a long time for a club. Great memories.
