While continuing to unearth and collect stories about food in the Near Westside I discovered this gem. During the 1930s there were many parties in the neighborhood where people danced the 'Big Apple', drank orange soda and ate pretzels. (Source: Post Standard, 12.07.82)
What was the 'Big Apple'? Press play to find out!
Note: it was named for a nightclub in Columbia, South Carolina, not New York City.
