Restaurants That Have Come And Gone in Garden City

Which do you miss the most?

The restaurant business is a volatile industry. Many can't make it past the two-year mark.

But some restaurants that closed their doors enjoyed devoted followings. Think: Upper Crust Café, which said goodbye to Franklin Avenue late last year. The café treated residents to brunch and lunch for more than 25 years and most recently offered dinner before closing.

Dolci Café was an Italian café and eatery providing Garden City residents with breakfast, a wide variety of wraps and, its specialty, panini sandwiches. Dashing Diva, a nail salon, recently opened at the Franklin Avenue location.

Seventh Street's RoTico Rotisserie Cafe & Catering closed its doors in February 2010 while Hoffmann's, a Seventh Street staple, said goodbye to Garden City in March 2011 after spending nearly eight decades in the village. Village Deli is now open at that location.

Which eatery from the past do you miss most? Tell us in the comments.

Hoffmann's was a great place, but the new place there is very good too.

Does anyone remember Stouffer's Restaurant in GC on Franklin Ave. My sister's and my bridal showers were both held there. I miss those nice restaurants. American food, roomy and classy. Not sure for how many years it was there.

Yes... I went there every week with my mom after we shopped at saks and lord and taylor... those were the days. And we sat like ladies... didn't run around like today.

just reading Jane Goodall with my son for school and came across this quote of an amazing womanRead More "every individual matters, every individual has a role to play, every individual makes a difference." that is what makes our nation, our village so great everyone has an opinion whether we agree with it or not. It just saddens me to think some may not voice their opinion in the future because of the rather harsh comments which I'm sure were just meant to get a point across rather than be hurtful. Garden City residents are not afraid to get involved, to stand up for what they believe in and I am proud to live here.

Thank you GcSupporter#2 I love quotes! tells so much about the person and their beliefs and life...IRead More had to look up Principal Joe Clark after that....definitely a man I'd like to learn more about. I always try to use quotes with my children and their school work - I think the spoken and written word of others is so important!
