"The Rain, the Park & Other Things" is a pop song with music and lyrics co-written by Artie Kornfeld and Steve Duboff. It was recorded by the pop band the Cowsills, and included on their 1967 self-titled debut album. Released as a single, the song reached No. 2 on the Billboard charts.[1] It was kept from the No. 1 spot by "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees.[2]

I first encountered Bickfahd's when moving back up this way in 1997. I think they must have taken over all the New England HoJo's locations.

Then they made a stab at going a little upscale in the mid-00s and got overextended.
