( Comments for Austro-Athenian Empire ) Comment on Farewell to Peter Christian’s Tavern by Ann S. Pellegrino, Esq.
Vermont Law School days (1976 – 1977), but now living in Florida. I still yearn to walk down those few steps into Peter Christian’s — especially when there was a live acoustic guitarist/singer greeting and entertaining. My favorite…
