Remembering An Oasis Among the New York City OTBs

She was funny, whip-smart, good looking and rich. I felt like I had hit a home run. But one day while we were walking down 7th Avenue past the flagship OTB (Off-Track-Betting) parlor, where the Winner’s Circle Restaurant was, we saw a man exiting the place with a little boy, maybe 6 or 7 years old, holding his hand.
