“A deal with a meal”

Dear Editor:
After reading your July 17 article ‘Dining with Dwek’ I realized how much I pine for old (blue collar) Secaucus Plaza Diner.
I hope your readers didn’t come away with the impression that Secaucus politicians were always as high brow, (white collar) lawbreakers, who only did their dealings in upscale restaurants like La Reggia. We too had a blue collar diner where politicians would be and often were offered a “bribe and a bigger” or “a deal with a meal.”
If your staff would do an article on some of the goings on that supposedly transpired, during conversations that had taken place in this dinner during the SMUA scandal back in the 1990’s, I would be more than happy to assist them.
