A new stars-and-stripes-themed restaurant has opened in Canton, featuring chicken wings, fried mac and cheese, and New York strip steak.
Alex van Breukelen and wife Jennifer opened the
Americana earlier this summer at 900 Kenwood Ave., just off Canton Square. The spot once held Tiburzi's Italian Grill and Caf�.
With 13 years in the U.S. Marine Corps under his belt, van Breukelen says he naturally felt drawn to a d�cor that consists of American flags, military memorabilia, and a copy of the Constitution hanging on the walls. Van Breukelen says he saw an opportunity to open a "community-friendly" bar and restaurant that could stand out among club-like venues in the area.
The 2,000-square-foot restaurant seats 120, including the patio, and features eight flat-screen televisions. It's open for lunch and dinner.
Other menu items include fried green tomato, fennel and duck, spicy salmon jalapeno poppers, and maple mustard pork tenderloin.
