As a student at Drexel in early '60s my home-town classmate and I would often go to the Gilded Cage for their FANTASTIC corned beef and swiss on rye sandwich, delicious soup (French Onion, perhaps?) and a soft drink embellished with a colorful plastic animal bearing a bright red cherry. They had "exotic" soft drinks, like grenadine and almond sodas. Sometimes they showed movies on a small screen, and I remember watching Federico Fellini's "La Strada" there and being enchanted by Jiulietta Massina. Wonderful times!
