SUMMARY: New owners of the Mayflower Cafe in Brooklyn plan to reopen the historic restaurant with the same old flavor and charm that customers have loved for over 80 years. Hunter Evans and Cody McCain, owners of the well-known restaurant Elvies, are refurbishing the cafe with their own hands to preserve its iconic atmosphere. The menu will highlight seafood dishes such as oyster fling, shrimp fest, and catch of the day. They aim to continue the legacy of the Mayflower Cafe and hope to create a spark in Jackson's downtown area. The restaurant is set to open for dine-in by the end of the summer.
