Image this now-----if you bought a prime rib dinner, you got ALL the beer or sangria you could drink. Big pitchers of beer and wine, and a lot of drunk people, but boy did we have fun. Very Scary to look back on. I remember Steak and Brew–was jsut talking about it to a colleague. so I googled to see if anything came up.

As far as the Steak and Brew goes, I don't believe it was the Bugaboo spot because I'm pretty sure it was Victoria Station. In the area where Bennigan's was for a couple decades used to be a place called the Meadows, a steak house/cocktail lounge/entertainment venue. Perhaps after the Meadows closed there moved in a place called Steak & Brew? I was only 9-10 at the time this adorable photo was taken, so my memory of it isn't too precise.

I definitely remember the outfits they are wearing and Caldors in the background; but cannot remember the grocery store. I do remember the Stop and Shop at the old Shoppers world though.

I remember when I used to go there for great stores like Child World and Newbury Comics. I still LOVE going there for Tennesee's BBQ, but it's pretty much all restaurants in there these days and none of the stores/restaurants really open into the interior of the mall. I don't know why they don't close up that area and just make it more retail space. I remember when Newbury Comics was there you the main entrance was on the interior hallway.
