Sadly I didn't make it to NY in time to catch the original location, but if I recall correctly, in the documentary, "I Like Killing Flies", Kenny seems to be torn on a decision to move and says something to the effect of "Not sure if I want to stay here in my little museum or not".
I know they moved twice before landing at Essex which has good food but nothing of the charm of the original space. Kenny has passed on so we can't ask him, but I just wondered if the family later regretted ever leaving Bedford.
Btw, "I Like Killing Flies" is, in my opinion, one of the greatest restaurant documentaries ever. Seek it out if you can.
