Maroosh

Speaking about a restaurant in New York, the great philosopher Yogi Berra once said, “Nobody goes there anymore.

Mary’s Caf

Mary’s Coin Laundry and Cafeteria opened in 1982 as a simple wash house. It was converted from a plant nursery and Bahamian-style wooden shack that had been around 55 years.

Mazie Restaurant

This is the sort of place whose description necessitates the mention of something like: “Now mind you, it’s not much to look at.” It appears to have once been a Dairy Queen-like operation, a stand-alone rectangular box with an angled take-out window. But for those willing to take the road less traveled for the sake […]
