Aunt Fanny’s Nosheria was located in East Liberty from 1977 into the early 1980s. A partnership called Deli Associates purchased a former Gulf Oil Corp. gas station at 5624 Baum Blvd. in early 1977 for $165,000 and hired architect Donald Solow and Triangle Construction to renovate the property into a restaurant. Investors included Beth Adams, Larry Adams, Harvey Goss, Donald Hirschman, Richard Kann, and Stephen Katz. Iz Cohen was restaurant manager. Originally billed as a “drive-in” delicatessen, the restaurant had cafeteria-style service without wait staff. Aunt Fanny’s Nosheria closed in the early 1980s. Wingfield’s Place was operating out of the location by 1985.
