still good after all of these years

Daniel Neman visits 19-year-old Millie’s for the RTD and writes about the food and the environment:

Part of the Millie’s charm is the vibe, the far-from-antiseptic rugged appeal of the place. Wooden floors, wooden booths, wooden walls (one of which is covered with money from other countries), a sign reading “Smokers will be pummeled with punishing blows all over their bodies” and a giant poster for the 1927 German Expressionist masterpiece “Metropolis.”

And don’t miss the most blissfully eclectic jukebox in town, featuring everything from the Meat Puppets and Jah Wobble to Art Blakey and Sophia Loren singing “Bing Bang Bong” from the movie “Houseboat.”

It’s impressive, that jukebox. Which is why it fits in so well with the food.
