meal for the whole family
at a low price.
John decided to join, these
two into a single
thought...sort of a "family
tavern" concept...while de-
veloping a theme that "fit"
into the image and feeling
already established by the
Old Mill...John didn't want
to make a radical depar-
ture -from a proven, su'ccess-
ful formula.
Well, anyone who has
been to the Old Mill knows
that music and old songs-
are an integral part of the
restaurant... Even the menu
contains bits of chords and
lyrics from old songs...A
little research showed that,
quite by accident, all the
songs used on the menu
were written during that
era called Tin Pan
Alley...And so, the Tin Pan
Alley Tavern was born.

to a section of New York
City (28th and Broadway)
where scores of music pub-
lishing houses, teeming
with musicians, lyricists
and song peddlers, were
clustered...The name report-
edly was coined by a New
York Herald reporter
named/ Monroe Rose-
nfeld...One morning, while
making his rounds, Rose-
nfeld stopped at the office
of writer-publisher Harry
von Tilzer, who was plink-
ing out some melodies on
his piano...Rosenfeld noted
that the sound was rather
tinny, and Von Tilzer ex-
plained that it was common
practice for the musicians
to mute their piano chords
with rags or old news-
papers so as not to disturb
Other writers and business-
es in the neighborhood.
Von Tilzer agreed that his
piano did sound somewhat
like -a tin pan, and Rose-
nfeld excitedly proclaimed,
"I guess you could call this
place a regular Tin Pan
Alley !..Anterestingly, Von
Tilzer later claimed that
he, not Rosenfeld, was the
first to use the term (in
that same , conversation),
but Rosenfeld published the
phrase in a newspaper ar-
ticle the next
day...Needless to say."Tin
Pan Alley" caught on, and
it is Rosenfeld who is gener-
ally given credit...for its ori-
gin.

The Tin Pan Alley Tavern
has a unique ,decor...The
walls are covered with old
trumpets, saxaphones, vio-
lins, bass fiddles, French
horns and all sorts of other
instruments (many of them
still functional)...The walls
also feature some magnifi-
cent stained glass work and
a large, 6 by 18 mirror with
the Tin Pan Alley,
logo...One corner ofthe Tav-
ern has an old juke box
that still plays for a nick-
el...In another' corner is a
pop corn machine that sup-
plies free pop corn to all
customers...And, perhaps
what may be the piece de
resistance of the assem-
blage, is an old player
piano, which, of course, has
that old tinny sound of
yesteryears.

The Tin Pan Alley Tavern
the era include: "Look For

Restaurateur John Laf-
frey,, whose Old Mill on Dix-
ie Highway in Waterford is
already established as a
fine, beautiful eating estab-
lishment, always intended
to "do something" With the
bar sector of his restau-
rant...The large room pre-
viously hail served as a
cocktail and waiting area
for early dinner arrivals,
and as a bar for patrons
who enjoyed a little music
with their drink (Joanie
Allen enterthins at the
piano )...John was intrigued
by two concepts that have
recently gained tremendous
popularity in the restaurant
field...One was the "tav-
ern" idea, which combines
plenty of atmosphere with
the hearty fare of a some-
what -limited menu...And
the other was the "family
