"I ran into 2 young ladies (Beverly, Claudia) while vendoring my book recently, I was quite impressed with them. Their place is called Mango's Reggae Cafe, 180 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair, NJ, 973-744-7770. I have not been there yet, but I am looking forward to trying coconut shrimp. Poetic License (Poetry ensemble I work with) are going to be performing there once we have set up a date. Part of their mission statement, "We women, have come together to introduce ourselves and educate the residents of Montclair and surrounding townships about the culture of our people and the exotic and flavorful food we wish to bring forth, etc. They offer entertainment, (not sure which nights).
I am therefore spreading the word in the name of sisterhood and supporting each other. Talk with you later, Val"
Thanks Val, I plan to visit Mango's very soon.
Val is Valery A. Kelly, she and Shari L. Taylor have written a book titled Aysabina's Legacy in verse. This is a lovely book of family history told in verse. Their website is http://dreamchild.home.att.net
There is another great new restaurant you should know about in Newark. It located just off Central Avenue at 27 Halsey Street. It is the 27 MIX Restaurant & Bar. The telephone # is 973-648-0643. If you are interested in visiting, save this information because the telephone number is not listed yet :-( We spoke to one of the owner's who says he will take care of that. This place has good food, nice ambience and really good vibes. This is the kind of place where you can have a business lunch or cocktails and dinner after work. You can eat here before heading for the PAC. I will go again for the yummy food.
