“Go on down there to Wylie and Kirkpatrick to Eddie’s restaurant. Coffee costs a
nickel and you can get two eggs, sausage, and grits for fifteen cents. He even
give you a biscuit with it.” --Doaker

Eddie’s Restaurant was a good place to get a good cheap meal in the Hill District. Wilson was one of the regulars who could be seen sipping on his cup of coffee while writing poetry. The last booth served as a meeting place where Wilson would meet with Sala Udin, and playwright Rob Penny during their days at the Black Horizon Theatre. Eddie’s Restaurant was established in 1950-1975 and demolished in 2006. |
