Legendary Pal's Cabin in West Orange, NJ To Close After 81 Years

[DaveO]

This piece of news caught my attention. It has to do with the closing of a restaurant institution from Northern NJ, near where I grew up. It was one of those institutions known far and wide: Pals Cabin

The restaurant opened as a little hamburger shack in the depression in 1932. Babe Ruth ate hot dogs there, Liberace played piano there in the early days of his career, and it was included in two separate shows on The Soprano's. (all in the story--none of which I knew)

Good hamburger place, good place for family meals as I recall and definitely a landmark in that region. But oof the costs per the article.
