I guess this would be Binky Philips' band?  I think I saw a similar ad in an earlier issue, but since it was printed closer to the classical music section I mistook it for an ad for a performance of Holst's The Planets--d'oh!

7/26/73 issue:

Live music at the Automat???

When they say "hardest to find," are they referring to the store's location or the items within it?

8/2/73 issue:

A Queens Indian restaurant run by followers of Sri Chinmoy--I think it's still in operation.

Not sure who these guys are, but they looked pretty glittery to me.

"Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Raceway Park!" [Cue the opening riff to Mitch Ryder's rendition of "Rock and Roll"...]

Marketing credit cards to teens is nothing new.

8/23/73 issue:

I remember there was a radio station building on Horace Harding, but I cannot recall the exact location or the call letters.  I wonder if this joint was adjacent to it.  The address now houses a Gujarati community center.

8/30/73 issue:

Is that a band or a stipper?  Coincidentally, the 7/26/73 issue had an article about some "Miss Nude" type contest which discussed one ill-fated contestant in particular, "Lee Bonny Bakley."

One of my Dad's fave hangouts, but I don't think he ever sported one of these shirts.
