Nigeria: Naija
Taking a Poundo on the Chin-Chin CT Food Tour of the World at Naija, Newington November 2024 Straight up, this will be a difficult page to write. I cannot find a single review of this restaurant.

Ur In All The Best Joints The Corner Tavern, Naugatuck February 2023 This page exists for one reason and one reason only. Okay, two reasons. And here they are: That's right. Urinals.
