In 1954, Sen and his wife, Buoy, grew tired of the difficult lifestyle that the laundry demanded and decided to pursue their other economic option. Along with a group of partners, he leased the bottom floor of 1236 Mass. Ave. and opened the Hong Kong Restaurant. Paul recalls, "They all told my mom she was crazy. They thought it was too far from the Square." But at the time, the Kong...
