Metropolitan Avenue Restaurants.

You Buy'em We Fry'em

Nicky's Seafood Restaurant on the corner of Whitehall and Metropolitan.  Nicky's represents that genre of roadside restaurant to which "greasy spoon" might be applied.  Note the clever combination of the "a" and the "u" in restaurant.  At first glance one might think this is a rest-0-rant.  Next we have the College Park Coney Island restaurant.  Mike and I think that at one time this was a family style restaurant, like a Lum's.  The exaggerated mansard roof suggest "environmental" influence.  The recession buster special (as advertised in a sign to the far left) is 25 cent wings.  The restaurant is festooned with colorful flags, and though it has a bar, it might still be used as a family restaurant.  Last of all is MoJo's, my example of a latter day lunch wagon.  You can see the "car" like portion of the building on the left.  A more permanent addition has been constructed on the right.  This restaurant operates pretty much the same way a lunch wagon would, where you go up to the window to pick up your wings, celery and rolls.
