It tickled Newman’s funny bone. Then he thought of the restaurant business and a typical chop’.iouse ad: "Finest food in town, king-sized cocktails, $2.95 steak dinner, etc.” It's pretty dry and dull stuff. Al got an idea. * * * ♦ * THE RESULT HAS BEEN one of the funniest ad campaigns of the year in the New York newspapers. Contained in small, paid-for "dining out tonight" columns, it consists of one or two-sentence gems like so: "A Civil war veteran claimed that our restaurant was just as bad in 1899. Seriously.” Or, "Out' food is as fresh as the waiters.” Or, "Originators of the new cocktail craze. Genuine water on the rocks!" Some of these lines have the hallmark of greatness: others, of course, arc good for only a mild smile. However. Al Newman, who works haid on them and occasionally turns to publicist Norman Wilmer, adman Stan Greenliekl or even his wife for help, is having Ilie time of his life writing them. And the customers seem to be pouring in. "A lot of them come," Al grins, "to see if we re as crazy as we sound.” Al began the campaign in the face of advice from the ad agency handling Rosoff's, but now it's become so popular that suggestions come flooding into the restaurant by mail from amateurs. To date, Newman has turned them down: he had the uneasy feeling it might involve legal trouble. Besides, like Mark Twain or any creative artist, he undoubtedly feels he can write better ones himself. * * * ♦ ON ONE OCCASION, he fashioned this one: "Giant cocktail, served only to people seven feet tall or over." Before you knew it. three basketball players (what else?) were on hand. Al measured them, conceded their legality and ended up paying for the drinks himself. Another day Al wrote: "Sorry, there will be no Blue Plate Special today We hired a clumsy dishwasher who turned out to be all thumbs.” Os course, that day 42 people asked for the Blue Plate Special. Rosoff's doesn't have any Blue Plat' Spiral and the wait ers patiently had to explain to the customers that the boss was off his trolley. More Newmans: A doubtful distinction, but we have the only chef in the business who brings lunch from home." "One of our waiters overheard one irate husband tell his wife. Just because it’s our anniversary doesn't mean you have to order a la carte.' " "Our Indian curry is so authentic, the other day two cobras showed up for lunch."

This week for a change, my hero is a man. His name is A) Newman and he’s a big. burly gent of 38 who should receive your plaudits if for no other reason than he married the boss' daughter. The boss was Max RosofT. now retired and doz ing in the Florida sun, and the joint he owned, which is now Al's, is Rosoff's, a 57-year-old res taurant situated in West 43rd street. It’s a good place to eat. I say this because it's always full of fat, red-faced people who can’t tum down second helpings of excellent food and will eat themselves into the grave.
