Well, this is freaky. My parents owned a restaurant in Carle Place/Westbury on Old Westbury Road called the Chanteclaire. I think my mom stil has the matches. John, the head waiter here, parents owned a restaurant on Old Westbury Road called the Chateclaire as well. They sold it in the early sixties.

At first we thought, maybe my parents bought it from his parents, Clem and Claire. But no, I called my mother up. Clem had called my father, Vinny, up to see if my dad wanted to open a restaurant. Well, my mother and father opened one with Clem and Claire. They wound up selling it a year or so later.

Now John works for us here at the arms. Is this freaky or what?
