the Grand Cafe
The Grand Cafeis a fine dining establishment, where my grand pal Paul Menta is the chef.
The connection made it a perfect place to have an art exhibit.
Maria the owner and best hostess on the island has allowed me to use her cafe as a show spot for about forty of my paintings. When you are visiting the cafe make sure to enjoy the hospitality of Eric, bartender extraordinaire, or check out the delicate cuisine of Paul and his excellent kitchen staff.
P.S. Treat yourself to being treated the way you should be by this wonderful staff at the Grand Cafe.

Home sweet Home...
A little of the hood where I hang my hat, when in Key West.
P Menta's house where ya see all my paintings, Shel Silversteins house where you may see my van.
It's an old big conch house in its original shape before any renovator got a hold of it.
It's a block away from the famous Key West restaurants Michaels for steaks and Mangia Mangia for there homemade pasta.
