 Colt & Gray, the new farm-to-table gastropub at 1553 Platte Street, was meant to open its doors and roll out its effin’ killer menu over the Fourth of July weekend, but much to my disappointment, the opening has been delayed. “We were hoping to do a soft opening over the…

Just after midnight on Thursday, July 2, The Hornet, 76 Broadway, posted the sign seen above on its windows and doors. But unlike Lucy, the upscale restaurant in Comedy Works South that’s “closed for maintenance” — and may or may not reopen by the end of the month — The…

Two lobsters — fried, steamed, slicked with sauce or stomped with jalapenos, spring onions and garlic — for $19.99. A damn good two-for-one deal if you can find it…XO, Lori…

Lucy, the tony restaurant that takes up the second floor of Comedy Works South, 5345 Landmark Place, is shuttered for what the website calls “maintenance.” Well, sort of. I just got off the phone with Susan Collyar, marketing manager for Comedy Works, who told me that the restaurant is being…

I didn’t eat today until 3:15 p.m., and while it was certainly late enough in the afternoon to forgo real food in lieu of something like, I dunno, chicken fingers, french fries and lots of liquor, which was yesterday’s lunch, I was desperate for breakfast, except I didn’t want a…
