The new Cafe on 39th Street may become a Korean restaurant
Mia Jamison has a dilemma. The owner of the building on the northeast corner of 39th and Bell (1726 West 39th Street, to be exact, the location of the diner formerly known as Bell Street Mama’s back in 2007) opened her own restaurant called Cafe on 39th Street just 17 days ago. Now she’s thinking that maybe her concept – an American diner open for breakfast and lunch – wasn’t the right one.
Currently, Cafe on 39th Street is open every day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and serves omelets, French toast, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, cheeseburgers, Japanese teriyaki chicken, and three Korean bulgogi dishes. “But the only thing that was selling, really selling, was the bulgogi,” Jamison says. “So I’m thinking of turning the restaurant into a Korean restaurant open for lunch and dinner.”
Jamison would like to know what Fat City readers think of her idea. “I think I need to make this change fast,” she says.
