Massive construction in the middle of the block has ruined what was once a really fun place to hang out and eat or have a drink. I will miss Benjamin's being there. I feel like I've lost a friend. I have many friends who will miss going there for a drink and conversation.

He bled the place dry, giving employees no notice of his imminent'plans.' <br />Good luck to hardworking Benjaminers, who made the friendly place what it was.

Never left with indigestion. Always was comfortable there. If I lived close, I would have probably have been there once a week or so (I cook at home mostly), I'd have been a regular.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-81855122709043192032016-10-19T14:15:19.410-04:002016-10-19T14:15:19.410-04:00Chill place...erm... was a chill place.
