Victoria Station

by carla griffin » Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:19 am

Is there anybody in this forum that used to work at or regularly dine at the old Victoria Station in Dupont Square? If so, do you think a reunion of some sort would go over well? :?:

I don't know about regularly, but I've reviewed it! :-D

Now I'm trying to remember when exactly it went away (early '80s?) and what lot exactly it was on. Wasn't it replaced (with a new building) by House of Hunan, later Bonsai? Or was that next door?

Let's see if I can remember...VS sat in the corner, House of Hunan was originally a pancake house of some sort, I think that was right next door. Then, a couple of doors down the the famous Flaherty'sIII.
VS closed around '83 or '84. It operated under different ownership for a while - less than a year I think. Then they finally tore it down (or rolled it away?) for a medical office building. Was that while you were in NY Robin?
