When 'Housing Works' On Montague Was 'Mammy's Pantry'

I came across this wonderful old postcard from a restaurant, which used to be housed at 122 Montague Street, at the corner of Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights, back in the 1940's. Mammy's Kitchen, was open for lunch and dinner and served Southern cooking which included Shrimp Creole, Maryland crab cakes and fried chicken. Of course Mint Juleps were available at the bar.

Today, the little illustration of 'Mammy' on the postcard would be considered non-politically correct, but back in the 40's, it was most certainly associated with Southern hospitality and cuisine.
The front of the map features a handy street map, "to find your way about." The map also indicates some historical Brooklyn Heights landmarks, such as Tom Paine's house and the spot where Beecher "auctioned Sara the slave."
Today, 122 Montague is the home of Housing Works, a thrift store. Before that, it was Fish's Eddy.
Does anyone remember Mammy's Pantry? Would love to hear from you!
