As Easy Being Greene noted last week, the storefront at the corner of Lafayette and Cumberland Avenues is slated to become a Nigerian restaurant, not Thai as originally posited last Spring or the 7-Eleven that almost happened a year ago. Will the new restaurant, to be called En of Africa, strike a chord with local diners? If you believe one commenter from the thread last May, there’s little reason to be optimistic: “The owner of [this] building is an old timer who really has no ability to understand the new neighb[orhood]. His dry cleaner services sucked as well.” We’re not holding our breath but let’s hope the new place can exceed expectations.
