Sinatra, Sally’s Apizza and J. Press

Sinatra, Sally’s Apizza and J. Press

My introduction to Sally’s Apizza occurred when my Grandfather Jacobi brought my cousins and me to the J. Press Christmas party around 1949. The store at 262 York Street was closed for the celebration and jugs of Chianti and boxes of Sally’s Apizza took over the tie counters. Quite a scene for an 11-year-old to bear witness.

To read this story and many more, purchase the Threading the Needle book by Richard Press.
