Reply to comment by LouQuacious in I Like Killing Flies (2004) profound and profane philosophies from an iconic New York restauranteur as he navigates gentrification in his neighborhood [1:18:14] by maxkmiller

I met him around the same time and he was sleeping on a stool in the entrance as well. I ordered an "Auntie" and his son made fun of how I pronounced it. We laughed at that and Kenny woke up. I had seen the documentary at that point and knew a bit about him so I was a little intimidated. We ended up talking for almost an hour about everything and anything. He made me an Orange Julius. What a great guy he was.

The sons and I had a very lively conversation about the best games on the Sega Genesis. Genuinely friendly if you can get past that tough old New Yorker exterior.

Had the same experience. I ended up chatting with him for about an hour, and these were his movie recommendations: The horses mouth, Captain from paradise, Brazil, Battle of Algiers
