Eighty-five years ago, the spot now known as Cap’s Place opened as Club Unique. Popular through the 1940s as a supper club and casino operated by Eugene "Cap" Knight and his wife, Lola, it’s believed to be the oldest restaurant in Broward County. It even has a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

I’m here to tell you that Cap’s is ripe for rediscovery.
