Thanks to Dana and Mike for sending: “Just saw that Bammy’s closed but don’t see anything about why… Any info? I LOVED that spot and saw PoPville did too.”

“the Bammy’s website has been taken down. It’s kinda crazy to me how they haven’t told any of their customers that they closed. And won’t respond to inquiries about it.”

This week’s question is a reader request that came in after our lament for those that have departed, OP asks for our favorites that have been around for a while and are still around!
I’ll put my vote to Izakaya Seki pictured above, which remains an incredible delicious gem. Your old(er) school favorites that are still around?

“Dear Shouk Community:
After five years in Union Market District, we’ve reached the difficult decision to close our Union Market location later this month. We’ve loved being part of the fabric of this special neighborhood. And we loved sharing our plant-based creations with you.
Thank you to all the amazing people in this part of town who’ve supported us over the years. You’ve made us a part of your lives, and for that, we’re eternally grateful.
But don’t worry – this is not goodbye. (more…)
