Final Opening Tally: April '09

Earlier this afternoon when we published our monthly shutter tally, a reader complained that we were focusing on the negative, that we should have an opening tally (and that we should get out of our jammies). And, holy mother, that reader is right. Let's look on the bright side of things. 39 restaurants, cafes, bars, and sandwich shops opened in the month of April, including the beloved Crosby Connection. Ask, and ye shall receive.
