Lucky Star opened its doors on a cold November night in 1957 with six stools, one griddle and a coffee pot that never went cold. Three generations later we still flip burgers on the same corner, pour bottomless coffee and keep the jukebox loaded with doo-wop. Cabbies, nurses, students and night owls — everybody is a regular here.
