LET MY PEOPLE GO: In Jersey City today to renew my driver's' license, I came across a Mediterrean restaurant called Pharaoh's Palace. I did not go into that restaurant, however, because I felt that as a Jewish person eating lunch in Pharaoh's Palace would be like returning to bondage in the land of Egypt.
I mean, would it be acceptable to open a Southern soul-food restaurant called Massa's House?
(Pharoah's Palace, incidentally, regularly hosts belly dancing).
