Uncle Louie left the farm and headed North for work in the auto industry. You might say he became ‘citified’ over the years…but, who doesn’t love a classic Manhattan…popular history suggests it was created in the late 1860’s in a bar on Broadway near Houston Street….of course, in none other than Manhattan NY…
