At 1687 86th Street off 17th Avenue, is one of my favorite order-out spots. I figured I could kill two chickens with one stone (please don't PETA me). Not only is this place one of the best chicken establishments in the area, they have pictures of EBBETS FIELD and old photos of Coney Island and greater Brooklyn adorning their walls too.
Coincidentally, just like at DeStefano's SteakHouse, the gentleman I conversed with at "NOT JUST CHICKEN" was also John. He was gracious enough to let me take a couple of pictures of those on their wall.
But today?...I just had to walk dude. Do you know I walked out of there without getting anything to eat? I was just happy with a new post in hand and forgot. I'm a regular customer though, I'll just order twice next week.
Here are some pictures of Ebbets Field dated 1913. "Not Just Chicken" had an extensive Coney Island display, but I'm saving that for another day....(uh, summer?) What I will share about this one particular Coney pic - the tower on the left is the Parachute Jump, the large structure on the right was STEEPLECHASE PARK. The Steeplchase site is the current location of Keyspan Park, the home of the Brooklyn Cyclones of the New York/Penn League. The Parachute Jump is a NYC Landmark today. It hasn't been operational since the 60's, but it's none-the-less iconic to us. I included a recent pic of the boardwalk and Parachute Jump for reference. You're going to have to wait a little longer before I starting hitting you with Brooklyn Cyclones Baseball talk.
Thank you again goes to, NOT JUST CHICKEN located at 1687 86th Street off 17th Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. It's really good eatin'....Fuggedaboutit!! Thanks again John.
