Well, probably steak steaks, which are much more difficult to caricature in neon. "Frys," though — that's an uncommon spelling for a side of potatoes. I like to imagine a Hangtown fry, best-known from San Francisco (though recently spotted on the menu of one Manhattan restaurant). Do any Eating In Translation readers know more about Starr's?
Starr's
Surviving signage on Newark Ave. (Tonnelle Ave.-Senate Pl.), Jersey City




Yeah, I lived nearby in the 1980's. Joey Starr was the bartender, and only Rupert Knickerbocker on tap. Always filled with a lot of cops. Deep-fried hot dogs was the specialty. Also, they cashed paychecks, ank kept only the coins as a fee.
