I remember when the Millrose Games and 4 or 5 other meets were held at Madison Square Garden on 8th Ave between 49th and 50th Street. We would get there early look at the stuff in the Davega Sporting goods store, get two Nedicks hot dogs with an orange drink and eat them while looking at the hats in the window of the store across the arcade. After the meet we would stop at Dempsey's Bar on 50th street to grab a beer and wait till the crowds thinned so we could get a seat on the crosstown bus for the first leg of the trip home.

That's a good one. I remember that commercial.
Another was the Doublemint Gum commercial, with the twins doing all kinds of fun, summer-y stuff while chomping on wrigley's. Didn't it go "double-fresh, double-good, double-mint gum?"

Lots of great stuff on here. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is calling a phone number to get the exact time - this was back when you had to set your watch every once in a while. You could call another number (I think it was 50 cents a call which was a lot and I knew I couldn't call too much or my parents would get upset) to get sports scores. They updated it about every 5 minutes with all the games that night. This is was if you could not wait until the morning or if the game you were watching was not going to finish until too late in the evening to make the cut off for the next day's newspaper.
