There's a nice blurb by Sewell Chan about Elaine's 45th Anniversary in the New York Times' City Room Blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/14/45-years-later-everyone-still-comes-to-elaines/
This is my joint, my hang, my family dinner place. Elaine treats me with gruff affection and never lets me go away hungry. She sets me up with dates both good and blech, yells at me when I've been away too long or claim poverty, and tells me I need better shoes when I've come in sneakers. In fact, when I started my job at the law firm and had little to wear to work, she had me come to her penthouse and she gave me beautiful shoes she could no longer wear...practical but beautifully made low-heeled shoes that only Upper East Side ladies can afford. I love her, and am honored to be able to make the hang with her, as well as Leslie, Pete, Joey, Jessica - the whole gang there I think of as my family.
Oh, and by the way, Woody hasn't had a meal there in years.
