The film's rare viewings had only occured around the time of its screening at Sundance a few years ago. Of course now Minda (one of Kenny's twin daughters) is running the front of the house and doing a splendid job. Her and Zach (Kenny's son) have done a lot to usher in a new generation of kids...who inevitably bring their own new kids to eat there too.

Another menu hint: for lunch, go with the taco fried chicken...the ultimate in comfort food imo.
DrivingRain, did you go see the film yet? I saw it last night (even though I've never been to Shopsin's) and enjoyed it--gave a pretty good view into Kenny's head. Impressed by how versatile his use of the f-bomb is, too!

Where exactly is the old space--is it where Snack Taverna is now?
