View from the Tower

View from 3rd story tower window. The tower was originally constructed with a 4th floor which was dismantled for materials to build Jimmy's Grotto around 1946. It's hard to imagine how massive the 4 story tower must have been in relation to the building. In 1991 the restaurant moved across the street to a new building, and the old store was demolished.

Jimmy's Grotto Pizza has good, reasonably priced pizza. One of their specialties is the Ponza Rotta, which you could describe as a deep fried pizza-pasty, or a pizza folded in half and sealed, and deep fried. The cream cheese jalapeno poppers is one of my other favorite menu items. The grotto website has a photographs of the original and new restaurants.
