Putsch's Cafeteria Organ Grinder and Capuchin Monkey

Remember When....Martha and Mac used to bring us to the Plaza in the late 50's, I was 6 or 7 and Marilyn 8 or 9. They always took us to the Plaza for dining at Putsch's Cafeteria and then a movie at the Plaza Theatre. Upon leaving Putsch's the Organ Grinder (or monkey grinder as we called him) and his little money dressed in a little suit was always there and we loved them! The little monkey would walk around the crowd with his little tin cup and we would put pennies in. Today stands a statue of the Organ Grinder and his little monkey in the same place where Putsch's Cafeteria once was. Everytime I walk by (which is often) those magical days return for a very brief moment.
