Description

I got the idea to have some Cuban today, so I thought I'd take a chance and see if Hemmingway's was open yet. They have no WWW presence; it's like a restaurant in the 90s that just opens and it's there.

But when I got to the front door and saw the menu, I see that it's an Italian restaurant. Hemmingway lived in Paris and had a home in Cuba, so I'm not sure how we were supposed to guess that this was Italian.

The menu seems boilerplate and very uninteresting. I opted to go somewhere else.

************
Don's and Don & Vinny's and Don and Sal's era is over. Hemmingway's Bistro coming soon.

This shopping center is a disaster; this Publix closed and opened a bigger center across the street, and you can hardly tell that anything is here. Clearly the landlord has abandoned the tenants:

Sheridan Square Out of Date Sign

This sign hasn't been updated in quite a while. Pancho's went out of business a year and a half ago, and Don and Vinny's has been gone for years (it was subsequently named Don and Sal's and then just Don's).

There's a French restaurant with this name in Chicago, but it seems unlikely this is related. I'm guessing Cuban this is food.

Funny how they advertised this as a highly profitable restaurant, and now they're closed. Weird.

Price down to $180K. Broker is calling this a "confidential sale" while posting the listing with pictures from their web site.

For Sale, Asking $215K for what should be an asset sale.

This place has been a failed Italian restaurant for years, so why would you open another one that's almost the same thing?

Maybe a clue that it's not a Cuban or French restaurant is that Ernest spelled his name with only one 'm.'

Maybe. But interestingly, there's a Hemmingway's Bistro in Oak Park, IL, the birthplace of Ernest, with 2 Ms. Hemmingway with 2ms is Italian?

There used to be a Hemingway's Restaurant/Bar on Dixie Hwy in downtown Hollywood a few blocks north of Hollywood Blvd. It was a pretty neat place in its day. I'm guessing this is no relation to that, but wish it were!

When did hemmingways in hollywood close and ws tiny tim there all the time/ I remmber going for dinner but can't remember the menu. And the new place is the same owner//

Not sure, but this place (I believe) is up for sale already. They're claiming some lofty numbers which I have difficulty believing.

this is the same owners who use to own the hemmingways in hollywood

True. Rahill was at Kerry's By the Sea in Hallandale until recently.

Tiny Tim used to perform at the old Hemmingway's.
