Food Scene

Ask for "the Midnight Cuban" sandwich. It's not on the menu, but they'll know what you want. Make sure they cut it in half and be sure to get plenty of napkins. It's unforgettably delicious. You can eat outside or take it to Golden Gardens, right up the street and have a beach picnic. Call first to make sure they're open!
