At first I didn't see why the counterman was taking a fork to my lime rickey.
Both the interior and exterior of Dana's figured briefly in the 1992 film School Ties. Lately the air is stale, and the fixtures have a weary look, but the soda fountain is still in proper working order. My rickey (to go, now $1.75), I soon discovered, featured a fork-tenderized half-lime.
