Sarah Fox: “The Glass Front was my grandparents’ (Eugene Miguez and Maria Hebert Miguez) restaurant/dance hall in New Iberia in 1925. They had dance cards for 10 cents and if you danced to close my grandmother would separate the patrons. The Glass Front was located across the street from Bertrand Lumber Co on Main Street. Along with Coleman’s Cafe and Guidroz’s Restaurant (Michael and Marius Guidroz were the first to serve crawfish in Louisiana in 1924) served free meals to the needy during the Great Depression.”
