One restaurant on Nam Trang Street in Hanoi is displaying various items from the years after the American War, attracting many customers.
The restaurant's owner, Nguyen Quang Minh, has spent a lot of time collecting particular items, and later decided to create a place to show and sell them.
Many people in Hanoi, especially those who had lived through this period, enjoy the chance of remembering very different times in the capital during the 70s and early 80s, before new economic policies were in place. Even though this period was full of daily difficulties, it evidently has created a certain soft spot in the hearts of customers.
