"The stretch of 43rd Street immediately south of the stockyard was once known as Whiskey Row because it was lined with taverns where workers would stop on their way home to drink away their sorrows after a day on the killing floor. Stanley’s, which opened in 1935, is the last of those. Longtime owner Wanda Kurek, daughter of the original Stanley, died in 2019, but Stanley’s continues to serve lunch on weekdays." - Aimee Levitt
