With two full menus – a sushi selection and a more traditional menu – even regular visitors find something new to eat with every meal. The vibrant nightlife is unparalleled and the bartending staff at DJ’s Martini Lounge pride themselves on their delicious specialty martinis. The live entertainment is always a wonderful surprise – Wabi features bands ranging from hip alt-rock to old-time bluegrass.

Payne, a life-long restaurateur, takes great satisfaction in providing his guests with an elegant, stylish dining and socializing experience. “I’m very passionate about what I do. I like connecting with people,” Payne adds. “There’s something for everyone at Wabi.”

But don’t think that Longstreet’s is just a spot for a quiet bite – come evening, Longstreet’s becomes an exciting hub of vibrant people out on the town, who gather at the famous bar and partake of the enormous variety of beers and spirits that Longstreet’s has to offer. Often, there is live music or karaoke to be heard. Regardless, the establishment always reverberates with the laughter and friendly conversation of its guests.

Longstreet’s food is local cuisine par excellence, combining deli-style dishes with traditional American fare. Many of their ingredients are locally produced, from sources as diverse as Adams Acres to the herb garden in Frank’s backyard. The menu has been refined over 13 years based on a steady stream of customer feedback, says Frank, and they’re still striving to provide even greater satisfaction to their patrons.

“A lot of people think the place is named after the fish called croaker, but it’s not,” says Neverett Eggleston III, owner of Croaker’s Spot restaurant. “Croaker was a man from Jackson Ward who moved up to Harlem and opened a restaurant he called Croaker’s Spot. His story inspired me, and that’s one of the reasons we call our place Croaker’s Spot.”

Eggleston, who comes from a family of restaurateurs, is unequivocal when asked what the best dish in his restaurant is: “The Eggleston’s Fried Fish Boat, served smothered in green peppers and onions with steamed red potatoes and hot cornbread dipped in our hot-buttered soul sauce washed down with lemonade!” But the renowned seafood dishes aren’t all Croaker’s Spot has to offer: they serve a selection of scrumptious sandwiches and breakfast dishes all day.

“As a restaurateur, it’s hard to beat Old Towne; the cobblestone streets, the restaurant community, the antique shops…you just gotta fall in love with what you see down here!” Eggleston says. “And I think we fit in well because we built up from scratch – all our food is homemade, and we serve it with that good Southern hospitality.”
