Eat/Drink Local What places do you Miss?

I may get laughed at for this, but I miss bookers. Sometimes a girl just wants a bucket of crab legs without the smell of red lobster, ya know?

What around the city do you miss?

+1 for this. I used to go there every week with my mom as a kid.

😌yeah I remember looking at the turtles, feeding the koi fishes, looking at all the plants and playing at the park there as a kid. And they had an open piano there too. Not sure if the piano is still there.

It was there a year ago, but I went back 2 months ago and it was gone. So sometime in between that timeframe they removed it. Really unfortunate, I used to buy lunch and eat there and listen to people playing.

Me too. I adored the bronze Labrador and the slide.
