"It’s always a disappointment when a longtime neighborhood restaurant closes and even more so when the business does so with little notice. Tipsters alerted Eater to an auction of 1917 American Bistro’s equipment just a few days into the new year. Former proprietor and chef Don Studvent never publicly addressed the reasons for the closure, but the restaurant was widely mourned on social media. Fortunately for the Avenue of Fashion strip, a new restaurant called Good Times on the Ave is slated to fill the space soon." - Brenna Houck
