The Brooklyn Hotel building is still there to the east of the motorcycle shop on 3rd and Soscol. It was built in the 1870’s By the Dominic Cavagnaro, I met his grandson several times, Ray Cavagnaro who was a big liquor distributor in and around Napa. Cathy and I would go for Italian dinners there in the early 1970’s long past the Brooklyn Hotel days and 100 years after being built. The restaurant part below the rooms when we went was then called Giannini’s. Having fun then and now, steve
