I grew up in my grandparents restaurant & social club on Myrtle ave and Spencer, right by the Home Depot. We actually lived on Nostrand & Gates. I used to walk to my grandparents restaurant nearly everyday after school. Their restaurant was full of local personalities that were basically our family. My family meals were there. I would jump behind the counter and help myself to whatever was in the steam pan. Usually it was some combination of rice and beans with pernil, roasted chicken, or king fish escabeche.
