Looking on google maps, 16 Doyers doesn't match at all with what I remember the downward steps of Wah Kee having looked like...but I was 5 years old then. My dad is in his 80s and had been to Wah Kee often over the course of 25 years; he says that Wo Kee was a different restaurant altogether. ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586149234102471926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564826827484078485.post-42898655913927226572016-01-07T09:16:36.744+08:002016-01-07T09:16:36.744+08:00I've searched for years for information about ...I've searched for years for information about a restaurant I remember being taken to by my father back in the mid-late 1950's. It was, I think, called Wah Kee. I've found online references to it and also under the spelling Wo Kee. Here's a link to a business listing for it.http://www.nycompaniesindex.com/wah-kee-restaurant-inc-21f7/<br /><br />It had an upstairs and downstairs set-up. Today the address (16 Doyers) seems to be a hair salon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564826827484078485.post-22259671616993351482015-12-30T08:48:15.412+08:002015-12-30T08:48:15.412+08:00I loved taking this virtual tour down Doyers Stree...I loved taking this virtual tour down Doyers Street! You may be interested to read my story about Morgan Phillips, an old circus man who lived at 11 Doyers Street in the 1880s. Then it housed the Mandarin Garden on the ground floor; today it is the Nom Wah Tea Parlor. The two top floors of the original building were destroyed in a fire that killed 7 people at 11-17 Doyers Street in 1939. http://hatchingcatnyc.com/2015/12/21/hobo-horse-nyc-cherry-street/Peggy Gavan, HatchingCatNYC.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210061033567424889noreply@blogger.com
