LaMaina's Cafe

The bar at Newton and Trenton Avenues was operated by the LaMaina family for many years. When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Nick LaMaina procured a liquor license, and opened LaMaina's Cafe, which was well known for its jumbo sandwiches.  501 Trenton Avenue was known as Stanley's Tavern in the mid 1950s, and Petro's Cafe by 1959. During the mid-1960s and early 1970 it was called Syl's Tavern.

After standing vacant through most of the 1980s and 1990s, the bar was razed.
