Elaine's Restaurant to Close

Just six months after the death of restaurateur Elaine Kaufman, her legendary Upper East Side eatery will close its doors forever on May 26, said Diane Becker, Elaine’s longtime manager who inherited the restaurant last year.

“This is one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make, but the truth is, there is no Elaine's without Elaine,” said Becker.

She's right. (Via NYP)

Watch the famous scene at Elaine's from Woody Allen's "Manhattan" HERE. (I'm older than the perv dating the 17-year-old!)

According to imdb Woody was 44 when this film was released. Adding up your age from the clues - 12 years old plus 30 years later, is only 42. So you may actually still be a touch younger than the perv.

@Earnest: Well, I'm referring to his character in the film, who says he's 42. I'm 43 -- about to be 44 in a couple weeks -- so I'm older, but just barely!
