From my online banking list of credit card purchases:
"RESTAURANT ASS41222472"
I must have eaten at a restaurant, but it wasn't called that!

Really funny :) Thanks for sharing.
"RESTAURANT ASS41222472"
Is probably "Restaurant Associates at the Museum of Natural History".
I know because I had the same question, ran across your page, and then found the receipt.
Interesting! We did go to the Smithsonian!
Thanks, solved a mystery from my credit card bill. I hope that doesn't reflect what part of the truney was in the sandwich.
Uhh, I meant turkey. No truney is served at restaurant ASS41222472.
