Targets for Spring

Mickey Mantle's on Central Park South opened in 1988, and Diana and I were there like we were shot out of cannon. Mickey's favorite - chicken fried steak and pan gravy - was our go-to meal.
The place had a decent run, closing its doors in 2012, but the memory of chicken-fried steak lives on. Now, thanks to a serendipitous Yelp review, the memory just may be taken off the injured list and re-activated.
There's a joint in Williamsburg, the Brooklyn Star, that features the Mantle fave -- with a Dr. Pepper on the side, no less.  They don't credit the Mick, and they serve it with classic southern gravy, but

what the hell -- I don't have much to do these days, and a cruise over the Willy B is still in my wheelhouse. Let's see if I can make this happen. Stay tuned.
