One question we get from time to time is this: Was Ben Solowey related to the owners of the famous Solowey’s restaurant located across from Penn Station in New York City?
The answer is: No. Ben did have three brothers and a sister, but none were in the restaurant business in New York or anywhere else. the only Soloweys in America that were related to Ben were his immediate family and their offspring.
For anyone who does internet searches, whether on Google, Ebay, etc., you are sure to find some artifact from the restaurant. Alas, the only food served by the Soloweys, was at the table Ben made in their home. And if visitors are to be believed, we still serve excellent food at our openings.
