Moving, closing, opening, talking:
Long time granola dining room, Vita Cafe is closed until mid-May. They lost their lease and are in the process of moving directly across the street.
I ran into the drama about the Floyd’s-King Harvest move and yeah, they shouldn’t have stayed open during construction. We had to practically shove the table saw aside to get to the counter. Enough said.
Tita’s Pista is, umm, gone. The little shack has disappeared and just its sign remains.
The love affair between The New York Times and Portland’s cuisine continues. Matt Gross shouts out Spella Caffe, and yes, they make a superb cappuccino.
Speaking of New York Times and food, the iconic Ruth Reichl has two Portland visits booked in the future. One being through Powell’s (Weds. May 13 2009, 7pm, Bagdad Theater) and another through Literary Arts (Mon. March 29, 2010, 7:30 p.m. Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall).
The north-Portland pizza dealings, just got a little more competitive. Atomic Pizza opened up just down the street from Eddie’s Flat Iron Pizza. They offer slices, salads, calzones, beer and wine. What they don’t have are Eddie’s killer sandwiches, so I may still end up going there, not to mention the fact that Eddie is super nice. I’m a moth to a flame when it comes to the pizza/salad combo, so I’ll check out the new player, and if it doesn’t suck, likely I’ll tell you. I’m so committal, I know.
