Obit for Johnny Vago

Bill Brownstein writes a somewhat unfocused obituary for Johnny Vago, whom he calls the King of Crescent Street. Vago was a sort of older, less mercenary predecessor to Peter Sergakis. Born in Hungary, he was the main reason for the wave of cafés serving food from that country here in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as the creator of many of the famous night spots around that part of downtown. Vago was 94.
