"A longstanding neighborhood restaurant that will operate through December 22 before closing as part of a group-wide decision not to renew leases. Owners cited cumulative financial pressures — higher labor and healthcare expenses plus competition from newer restaurants and delivery services — and stressed the move was not driven by a difficult landlord negotiation. Nearly 200 employees across the group were notified in advance and management is focused on helping staff transition while still booking holiday parties and marking the restaurant's final weeks." - Josie Sexton
