Longleys billed itself as "The Most Unusual Cafeteria in New York," and the interior view shows colorful murals across the walls, rows of tables and chairs, a staircase, and a balcony seating area. The two-level room has the bright, busy look of a mid-century midtown cafeteria, a format that offered quick, inexpensive meals to office workers and shoppers.
