Parkview Cafe just opened in City Park in a cool old building by the lagoon across from the sculpture garden. They serve coffee, tea, wine and beer and ice cream and some grilled items – burgers, dogs – popcorn, and frozen Hurricanes (of course). I went there yesterday and I was the only person in the place. I hoped news would get around and people would patronize it, if only to keep it alive. Then today I saw a tour bus pull up and everyone head inside.
its called the casino building, fyi. its perhaps my favorite non residential building in the city.
I knew the name but didn’t want to use it because it doesn’t reflect the kind of nostalgic arcade like quality of that building – which I too love.
