Yes and great lines from the NYT’s 1975 review….

“Once, most cities had restaurants like The Alps: solid, unpretentious and expertly run. They have been replaced by anonymous chains, those where fast‐food operations are dressed up to resemble real restaurants. The food is frozen and tasteless, the atmosphere gimmicky and gauche. Places like The Alps have all but disappeared in this country. Perhaps, we prefer spurious “atmosphere” and plastic food to good meals in unpretentious surroundings.”

The Alps was one of the go to JC restaurants for family occasions like graduations, birthdays, etc. As the NYT’s review says in the 70’s the patrons were older.

The area was getting kind of shady and the old-timers had worries getting to it. So as I recall the owners started a door to door limo service. They hired off duty cops as drivers. Great idea at the time…pre Uber.
