Hakata, 32443 Northwestern Hwy.,

Farmington Hills, 737-7220. It is al-
ways an interesting experience to dine
at a Japanese restaurant. And even
more so when the ring ofJapanese au-
thenticity is always prevalent. The menu
and ambience of Hakata, with its pri-
vate rooms, slippers, sushi bar and
open dining room, are gracious at-
tributes for this honorable food empo-
rium. It is open seven days a week.

Marvin's Marvelous Me-
chanical Museum, 31005 Or-

chard Lake Road, 626-5020. Only
the huge clock at its outside entrance
is backwards. Everything else at this
good time emporium spells fun for the
entire family. Owner Marvin Yagoda
was crazy like a fox when he came
up with the idea, but it has become
one of very few like it in the nation,
winning awards and appearing in
magazines and the Guiness Book of
World Records. Video games, pinball
machines, antique games, unique
posters, etc. include an old-time pho-
to booth. The party favorite also has
24 tables for lunch snacks.

O'Shuck's Raw Bar & Grill,

35450 Grand River, Muirwood
Square, Farmington Hills, 474-8484.
After 12 years at this location, Larry
Sheehan decided to remodel to a Flori-
da decor. He has added oysters,
shrimp, gator tail, calamari and a
whitefish dinner to his noted Sheehan
burgers, munchies, chili and popular
bar-b-q ribs that had been part of the
former O'Sheehan's menu. Import-
ed beers, frozen tropical drinks and
a selection of island music comple-
ment this casual, fun diner.

Vineyard's Cafe & Catering,

32418 Northwestern Hwy., Farm-
ington Hills, 855-9463. This is a
very popular place, especially at
luchtime, for dining in after selecting
from oodles of fresh salads and
sandwiches and taking them to
tables or booths. Also from Shirlee
Bloom's separate kitchen comes her
excellent preparations of traditional
Jewish dishes, available for dining
in or carry-out. She is also available
for weddings, bar mitzvahs,
showers, etc. at homes or halls or
in her Mayfair Room next door.

LATHRUP

LaFendi, 27060 Evergreen, Lath-

rup Landing, Lathrup, 559-9099. An
elegant atmosphere, where all areas
are a different decor, make up this
popular Middle Eastern restaurant.
Many of the dishes are not found in
too many dining spots of its type. Fresh
squeezed fruits and vegetables make
up the raw juice bar which people en-
joy seven days a week at all hours.

NOVI

Novi Plaza, Novi, 349-9260. Rated
