The ladies' room at Rickey's truly makes a woman feel like a lady.
Feeling giddy from the 49 Cokes/Diet Cokes we'd consumed, we mopped ourselves off with a nearby supply of Wet-Naps, then cooled off with a slice of the chef's Key Lime Pie ($2.95).

Served with a dollop of whipped cream and a wheel of marginally fresh lime, the pie was tangy and sweet, and, as a bonus, left a pungent residue on our palates that would no doubt linger for the next several hours.

Finally, as our parting course, we ended our meal the way all meals at Rickey's World Famous should be ended: by purchasing souvenir polo shirts ($20, S, M, L, XL) emblazoned with the Rickey's logo.

With the shirts in hand and the check squared, we stumbled out the restaurant's side exit, briefly blinded by the midday sun. We squinted our way towards our vehicle, both of us already relatively certain that handfuls of Tums, as well as stomach-holding coupled with hours of Broadway-caliber groaning, were in our respective futures.

The Verdict: Try It...at your own risk.

    @donf5capsian:

    Don, your anecdote does a better job of capturing the spirit of Rickey's than our entire story did.

    And how it made me laugh, and a little sad, at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

    I stopped there once during a business trip. I dug the 80's vintage vibe. The guy sitting next to me pounded a bunch 5-6 mixed drinks in the 90 minutes I was there. When I walked out to my car, he was passed out behind the wheel of a minivan with the engine running and his foot on the gas (it was in park). I really had to convince the bartender this could get HIM in trouble and that he needed to do something about it. That's class...
