A new restaurant opened near me. The prior business in that spot was an adult bookstore with peep

show booths.

I'm sure that they've cleaned the space thoroughly prior to opening, but could you eat in such a place knowing what went on there prior to this restaurant opening?

My former in-laws sold a business in the mid 70s to a man who lied and said he was opening a coffee shop. He opened an adult bookstore, complete with peep show booths. Eventually the town got him out of there and a coffee shop/bakery did open. The pastries and New York Hard Rolls were wonderful!

By the time all the renovations are complete, I can assure you there are no vestiges of past occupants.

You only get them in NYC and the immediate surroundings...Long Island, CT, northern NJ.

What other hard rolls were you thinking of Nolabear...fess up!

The restaurant staff in any restaurant you're eating at are probably fooling around anyway. I've worked in a restaurant. It sucks and you have to blow off steam in some way.

Even a clean restaurant kitchen has stuff going on that you don't want to know a about. I've eaten at little dirty hole in the wall places in Asia , wonderful food.
