| The Midway Restaurant Milneburg at the Lake |
| I'm grateful to Carl Quarrella, who contributed these images from his 2-g-uncle's restaurant at Milneburg. Carl's grandfather was Frank J. Quarrella, his grandmother was Catherine Jurisich Quarrella. his father, Frank J. Quarrella, Jr., and his father's sister is Mildred Quarrella Bordelon. Carl's family owned and operated the Morning Call Coffee Stand in the French Quarter until the early 1950's. These are wonderful glimpses of early 20th century New Orleans! Nancy |
| Gennaro "John" Quarrella operated his Midway Restaurant at Milneburg with the help of his wife, Mare Bonano, his brother, Joseph Quarrella, and Mr. Conti, the bartender. |
