Before DaPietro’s — way before — there was Pearl’s.
From 1972 to ’85, Paula Pastorelli Schooler owned the popular fondue place on Riverside Avenue.
The restaurant is long gone. But her legendary salad dressing lives on.
Paula pretty much sells it out of her trunk now. After all these years, she’s looking to do something different with it. Perhaps a marketer or promoter could help her reach more customers. Maybe a partner could join her. If someone wants to buy the business or name, she’s willing to talk.
If you are a fan of Pearl’s — the restaurant or the dressing — and want more information, email Paula directly: pearls36@icloud.com.
