The Roaches Were Part Of The Charm
-
This beloved old Brooklyn luncheonette is closed now after 63 years, but the local institution's end isn't necessarily an occasion for misty memories: The place had recently been shut down by the city Health Department for hygiene problems including roaches in the food prep area. There's a nostalgia for old, original restaurants and diners and soda fountains, but some of them might not be, you know, clean. Ew.
