· Despite reports of an outright shuttering of the beloved Montrachet, word from Drew is that the restaurant is simply on vacation for the summer and will be back open, 21 years and counting, post Labor Day. [EaterWire]
· As Eater Bonus enthusiasts will have noted, The Villager reports that there may be a third round for the beloved East Village taco shack, Snack Dragon: "While it’s not 100 percent finalized, [owner] Jansen plans to move around the corner from where the Taco Shack originally stood, a space on E. Third St. between Avenue A and B by July 1. Not a shack, but an actual building, Jansen explains that the new spot will be more of “an in-post instead of an out-post.” She plans on having a “drive-thru” style window, where she’ll dish out tacos, as well as stools and a counter inside to eat on."
