Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe

Open since 1927, Charlie’s Sandwich Shoppe has been serving as a hot breakfast spot and neighborhood coffe shop.  It’s known for serving African-American jazz musicians during the era of segregated hotels.

It’s a small place but has seen many people.  Famous people like Sammy Davis, Jr. and Vice President Al Gore have been known to eat there.  I personally enjoy going there for the history of the place.  If you do decide to eat at Charlie’s, remember there are no bathrooms!
