BELMONT EATERY OPENS WITH GREAT FOOD, AND HISTORY

The long awaited opening of The Belmont Eatery took place this week.

We stopped into the Maplewood Village food spot to check out the burgers, dogs and salads and spoke with Jerome, one of the partners.

He said they're on a soft afternoon opening, but with dinner likely soon. 

But along with the great food, the reason to visit is also to see the great wall mural of Maplewood Village circa 1946 (see below). After you order lunch, see what the shops looked like some 70 years ago.

For instance, the jeweler and optician spots at Baker Street and Maplewood Avenue were a Whelan Drugs. And, of course, the Belmont name comes from the building in which they are located.
