ok that mispelling of his name only made me hungry for a reuben from Krupins. Did I hear right that they renamed the place?
[/quote]A Reuben company on Wisconsin Ave.
One of nine 750-gpm Ford/ Ward LaFrances delivered in 1971 and rebuilt by Young Fire Apparatus is seen here c. 1980, turning north out of the house toward Krupin’s (Morty’s) and a real Reuben.
Toojay’s, Krupin’s, and, the current appellation, Morty’s. However, Morty Krupin has retired and some have opined that the “Morty’s” name should be changed. However, Dave, if you are ever in the Fifth Battalion (as close to Minnesota as DC gets), swing by Wisconsin Ave. & Brandywine Sts. NW. The fact that Morty’s accepts reservations for the seating area affirms your hunger for that Reuben (with a free bowl of kosher pickles on the table) is well founded.
