This is just a small town away from where I live. I have eatten in this restaurant many times. Please someone buy it. Don't let it close. This restaurant was used in the soap opera General Hospital. It's a great restaurant and bit of history in the city of Newark. It sits right on route 31. I have never seen the parking lot as empty as it is in the picture.
