I happened across these threads while doing some research on my father's old coffee house, The Interlude Cafe. My father was the Max Heilbrunn that was mentioned by Steve Suffet in a post about the Interlude. Name was close but it was almost 50 years ago.

I would love to know more about the Interlude from anyone out there is cyberspace. Steve- your memory is amazing.

As I am sure most know, the Kitty Genovese murder was pretty much the end of that incarnation of the Interlude. I am pleased to see that the old roots are still soaked in coffee. I actually have a few of the dishes that my Dad used in the store. Unfortunately he died in 1974 but he would have been touched by the memories of his beloved Interlude.

Any information will be great appreciated.
