"Every time we pass Ma-n-Pop, we feel the need to say “good morning” to the building as a form of respect. That’s because this Southern spot has been preparing shrimp and grits, corn beef hash, and fried white fish on the corner of Lewis Avenue and Halsey Street for years. Right now, they’ve got a few sidewalk tables available for you to sit at while you contemplate whether a soul food restaurant this good deserves to be an American landmark." - nikko duren
