It was just confirmed to me that our building-home to elmo for 25 years-has been sold. Our lease expires with that sale. The new owners will soon bring a residential building to our neighborhood. Sadly, all things must come to an end and elmo will serve its last meal on Friday, March 13.
When you hear that a restaurant is hard to get into, it signals that there must be something worthy of drawing a crowd - and with all of the restaurants on this list, that is certainly the case. Whether it's food so creative you just can't find it anywhere else, cocktails and wine lists crafted to impress, stellar service, or celebrity sightings, these locations are hard to get a table at for a reason.
Sonny's Corner has opened in the former home of beloved bar Pencil Factory, which shuttered last summer after 25 years in business. Sonny's hasn't messed too much with Pencil Factory's proven success: Its vibe, layout and interiors are quite similar to those of the previous business. Residents just seem happy the space has remained a bar, and one run by local business owners.
