Miss Marcy performs at the Alligator Cafe from 7-9 p.m. Friday. Marcy notes it’s a good place to bring the family for dinner because it’s cafe style — you line up, order, pay, and the food it brought to your table. “Why is that important?” she says. “Because each of your wife’s free-loadin’, no-good brothers will have to buy their families their own dinners and not expect you to pick up the tab for dinner … again.” Plus, the ‘Gator serves beer and wine.
