Sad news from the recently opened Newland yesterday:
“We are heartbroken to announce that Newland’s last day of service was at the end of last month.
We set out to serve food and drinks that pushed our creativity and innovation to the next level, all while having a damn good time. We can safely say that, while this isn’t how we envisioned Newland’s story unfolding, we did just that.
We could run through the many possible reasons why (more…)
