Hello Keith,
Wow, it’s great to hear thay someone is connected to people who wrked in Jahn’s years ago. My Dad, Ray, worked there for years when he was in high school and after he came back from the service. His brothers worked there too for years. My Grandparents actually lived on the 3rd floor apartment above Jahn’s. There apartment was the entire top floor that went all the way to the old A & P.
Actually, years ago, there wasn’t an A & P. It was the parking lot for the RKO Keith’s movie theatre. My Dad
also worked in the projection booth at the RKO Keith’s too.
He was a sods jerk at Jahn’s. He worked for Frank Jahn.
What a small world!

I have a menu from Jahn’s that I have saved. I am not exactly sure how old..I would say at least 49 years??. The price of “The Kitchen Sink” was $6.50!!!It says Bayside on the right top side. It was printed by Wilburn Co, NY. I treasure this menu!! It was the first time my Uncle took me anywhere alone. I still remember how excited I was that he asked if I could the the menu..anyway..was glad to find the information on the history have been looking for a long time..

We always went to Jahns in East Meadow next tot he Levitown Roller Rink. We would all chip in and get the kitchen sink. Ahhh… the teenage years in the late 70′s… the good old days.

The Jahns on Kingsbridgege Rd was our date place. After movies at. Forham, or Lowes Paradise. Many memories from 1970-1978.

I am named (in part) for the RKO Keith’s next door. My dad (Ken Polsley) used to manage the Richmond Hill store, then he oversaw the opening of the stores on LI and in NJ. I remember driving around with a gas streetlamp in our car several times. there was on in every store he opened.

My mother’s name was carved into at least one of the tables along with probably thousand’s of others. I think they met there sometime in the ’30′s.

The nickelodeon and open-air garden in the back were two of my favorite things after the ice cream of course.

doubt it. Maybe you have a time machine. If you do skip Jahns & buy some lottery tickets.
