  1. Fanelli Cafe - 1863 (under the Fanelli Cafe name since 1922). The Bar That Has Fed SoHo for Almost a Century, by Reggie Nadelson, Oct. 14, 2019, on nytimes.com. Wikipedia
  2. Starting last week, Foode no longer closes between 3pm and 4pm. They stay open during that hour serving a limited menu. Their website does not yet reflect this change.
  3. One D.C. restaurant loses a Michelin star, while four others claim one, by Emily Heil, October 1, 2019, on washingtonpost.com.
  4. Willow space remains empty now 4 years and running. Given the center of gravity in the neighborhood is shifting towards Ballston Quarter, I'd say this is a condition not likely to change anytime soon.
  5. $15-minimum wage hike is hitting, hurting NYC restaurants, by Jennifer Gould Keil, September 29, 2019, on nypost.com.
  6. No further comments since the opening. Wondering whether it is still worth making the trek to Reston to sample Anyone have a more recent experience at this place?
  7. Heavy Seas in Rosslyn may still have it. I haven't been in years, though. That situation may have changed.
  8. Counter Service Tipping: Who Gives? By Seth Kugel, September 15, 2019, on nytimes.com.
  9. I vote for this as the best tomato. A Tomato Grows in the East River, by Amelia Nierenberg, Sept. 4, 2019, on nytimes.com.
  10. The Racist, Twisted History of Tipping, by Maddie Oatman, May/June 2016, on motherjones.com. 'It's the Legacy of Slavery': Here's the Troubling History Behind Tipping Practices in the U.S., by Rachel E. Greenspan, October 15, 2018 (updated August 20, 2019), on time.com.
  11. Some people will only drive a BMW or equivalent Others are happy with a KIA. Not everyone is passionate about food, but recognize they must eat to live. Frankly, in many locations dining options are severely limited.
  12. Stick to the SkinnyLicious menu for more reasonable calorie counts. It also wards off the headache that ensues when you try to read through the hundreds of items on the full menu.
  13. I wouldn't read too much into it. We sometimes hear this even at places we frequent at least once a week, just because schedules vary. It is invariably followed by a conversation in which we catch each other up on what we've been up to since we last spoke. If they recognize your face and know your name you are a regular no matter how long it has been since you last stopped in.
  14. The Rye Street Tavern's Uncle Vals Garden is a strong offering (Uncle Valā€™s Botanical Gin, cucumber, lavender, lemon, sage, Q Tonic).
  15. In this regard, you may want to peruse the Oldest Restaurants in the Washington, DC Area thread.

    Eataly

    We made a lunch stop at Eataly Los Angeles on Santa Monica Blvd. in the Westfield Century City mall. It compares favorably to the other Eataly locations I have been to (New York and Chicago) if you like that sort of thing - which I do.
