The Hotel Plaza Coffee Shoppe (PG 126)



I would suspect that long before this was the Hong Kong Buffet that it truly was a pillar of Pottsville society where the elite and the working class would stop by for morning coffee and Sunday brunch. Sitting on the corner of East Norwegian Street and Progress Avenue it was a short walk from the courthouse or the brewery and not too far out of the way for the coal crackers coming to town from the mines. I'm sure none of them, all those years ago, figured that the old Hotel Plaza Coffee Shoppe would be the place to go for pork lo mein or some steam table General Tso's chicken.
