FLATIRON—Jeffrey Chodorow's newest baby, the Zak Pelaccio-ified Borough Food & Drink, is soft opening tonight. If you're hankering for a taste of what Pelaccio and and the Chod have cooked up, we'd advised dropping by the restaurant this week, for there's no knowing how little time the poor poor thing has left in this world.

PARK AVE SOUTH—The future of PINCH is in peril. We first learned that the eatery was shutting down via a reader query, "A friend just told me that she head that PINCH (Pizza By The Inch) is closing. Is this true??? I love this place - they have amazing fresh pastas, surprisingly." We checked in with an owner of the place, who told us that they are closing Friday and are currently looking for a different space in the neighborhood. At this point, nothing's settled. So, for now anyway, Pinch is history. [EaterWire Inbox]
