Joey Racano

Published on June 29, 2000

Plays music at local bars and at the pier, but his favorite activity is shouting at corrupt officials every two weeks at City Council meetings. Breakfast: "You can't mess with Sugar Shack; it's the best breakfast bar none," says Joey. "They even have the Joey Special for $5.29—over-easy egg with sausage and ham. That's my own invention." Lunch: The $6 steak special available at Zubies Dry Dock. "I get my dog washed at Super Groomers while I eat. Afterward, I go to the thrift store next door to shop for vintage wear." Dinner: For $15.95, try the Gallagher's dinner special. "They have the best cooks—Greg and Tomas," says Joey. "The T-bone steaks are crazy good, coupled with the best beer in town. And if you get lucky, you'll be there on Wednesday night when Joey Racano plays the guitar."
