A nostalgic atmosphere
of years gone by complete
with antiques, slot
machines and juke boxes,
complimented by an
interesting, varied menu
is what Yester-Days of-
fers its patrons.
Opened in 1981 by Back
Mountain residents, Mr.
and Mrs.
Yester-Days has become
dining spot. Open seven
days a week, Monday
through Friday 11 to 10,
Saturday 5 to 10 and
Sunday 1 to 9. Yester-
Days serves lunch, dinner
and is opened for drinks
and snacks during the
after-dinner hours.
Mike Klug is manager
of Yester-Days. Mike
enjoys. operating the
restaurant, meeting the
patrons. He firmly
believes in pleasing the
customer.
All foods prepared by
cook Joe Kane are made
from scratch. Nothing
frozen is used; no salt is
used in cooking; all soups
are homemade. Each day
a creamed soup and a
stock soup are offered
with cream of broccoli,
cream of mushroom,
French onion soup and
Manhattan
choweder being some
favorites. A fresh salad
bar offers a fresh fruit
basket of oranges and
apples, as well as salad.
The lunch menu offers a
variety of charbroiled
burgers, club sandwiches,
salads, entrees and diet
platters. For dinner, the
menu offers selections
from the Fields, Stream
and Seas including such
appetizing entrees as
Chicken Marsala, Baked

or ice cream.
When the customer is
looking for a light snack
and a drink, Yester-Days
can provide them with one
of their delicious bar-b-
ques, charbroiled burgers
or finger foods like
zucchini, vegetable
sticks, cheese cubes,

Coladas, Strawberry
Daiqueries and Toasted
Almonds being popular
choices. Yester-Days

always been one of Paul
Klug’s interests so when
he decided to establish
Yester-Days, it' was
natural to use many of his
antiques in the decorating
scheme. A one armed
bandit greets customers
at the door, while the
popeorn machine and
crane: where the player
can pick up lots of candy
appeal to both young and
old. A nickelodeon dating
from the early 1900’s and
a Steinway player piano,
add to the old-time
charm.
On weekends, piano
players Joe Gilroy and
Jerry Stone entertain
patrons with their delight-
ful playing. From 9:30
until 2 a.m. on Friday and
Saturday evenings,
Yester-Days sing-along
featuring songs from the
‘‘good old days’’ are
extremely popular with
the customers.
For Post readers Mike
has agreed to share two
recipes Apple Crisp and
Stuffed Pork Chops. Both
are delicious and can be
prepared by the average
cook.
. So the next time you get
a hankering for home-
made Apple Crisp served
hot with whipped cream,
or a mad desire to see just
how much candy you can
scoop up with the crane,
or want to sing-along with
some great ‘‘old time”
musie, visit Yester-Days
and have some fun.
