G. G. in the Park

G. G. in the Park Restaurant & Lounge was a 125-seat white tablecloth restaurant operated by brothers Frank and Joseph Brocato in the former Whitworth's in the Park at 3625 8th Avenue South in the Highland Office Park subdivision in Forest Park.

After Joseph Brocato's death in 1972, Frank continued the business. A legal settlement over the nature of the partnership required him to make payments from the restaurant's profits to Joseph's widow Leila, and to employ her son, Joseph Brocato Jr, and train him in "all phases of the business".

Frank Rumore was a manager of the restaurant in the 1980s. The restaurant was reincorporated in 1988 by Charles Covington Jr.

The building was later occupied by Forest Park Deli and Killarney's Irish pub and restaurant.
