Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Cocoa restaurants plan early hours for Monday's Artemis I launch
Updated 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Social media doesn't pull any punches.
Earlier this week, when I posted a story listing a few restaurants that will be open Monday morning for the Artemis I launch and omitted a few popular North Brevard spots planning special early hours, y'all let me know it. (Some of you in a less-than-kind way, but hey, I don't take it personally.)
In my defense, I turned in my original story last Friday, and most places didn't post their launch plans until the weekend.
Still, it's good info to have, so here you go. Some places are still mulling over options, so if I missed anybody, let me know at sleonard@floridatoday.com, and I'll add them.
Coconuts on the Beach, 2 Minutemen Causeway, Cocoa Beach. Coconuts will open at 8 a.m., with breakfast burritos, bloody Marys and mimosas. Beachside service is available. facebook.com/coconuts.onthebeach
