Graffiti Grill: Island-themed Castaway’s tries to fit in on Broadway

The charming storefront of 3535 Broadway seems to possess more lives than Charlie Sheen. Over the years, it has housed the Athena, Pappagallo, Cafe Trio and Rhythm Lounge. And it’s about to open as something new, the Graffiti Grill, formerly Castaway’s Marina and Grill of Smithville.

Owners Shane and Stephanie Kesterson lost their lease after three years of beach-bumming at Castaway’s on-the-water location. Their treasure hunt for a new home led them from the suburbs to the big city and landlocked life.
