The thrill of so many exciting restaurant openings — and there were plenty this fall — can be tempered by news that one of our favorites didn't make it. But things other than bad food or bad business can doom an eatery.

Here are ten bars and restaurants that have closed this fall, along with links to our coverage so that you can read the full story.
