Notes (Roving Rube): The Rube thought there was something a little odd about this picture ... the scale seemed off ... was the guy looking at the menu unusually tall? .... and what's that bright patch at the top? ... wait a minute! That's the sky! Great Caesar's Ghost! Where's the rest of the building?! It's only one story tall!!! It's a scoop! DWARF SKYSCRAPER FOUND IN MANHATTAN! "Great work, Rube -- you're the best cub reporter we got!" "Aw shucks, Chief, I just happened to be walking by."

The Rube has eaten at Le Madeleine a couple of times -- it's got a touch of class to it -- a good first date place on the way to a Theater Row show.
