Blind Pig is Done
Blind Pig No. 55 has closed up shop. The 12 South enterprise was lauded for it's attention to creative side dishes and frequently criticized for mediocre, over-priced barbecue selections. Chris at the Scene broke the news this morning and the Blind Pig web site confirms. Fish & Co., the new seafood restaurant by the same ownership group will move from it's current location into the Blind Pig spot.

Floppy, crispy, foldable- these are essential elements of a real N.Y. style pizza. Oh, and you have to be able to get that pizza by the slice, and the slice should be able to make a modest lunch. NY Pie serves up big, wide, and high quality slices of pie and the style is remarkably authentic N.Y.

They confirm that they will be keeping that location and adding a new restaurant in the Target Center at Old Hickory Blvd. near I-65. The owner says they hope to have

Midweek Odds and Ends
Jerusalem Middle Eastern restaurant in midtown has finally succumbed, after a long, and by many accounts, rather sad fall into disrepair. It is replaced in that location by Sportstown BarBQ Grill.

Brunch at Cooper’s
The corned beef hash is bold and popping; grilled up with hash browns, it’s an excellent foundation for scrambled eggs and lemony hollandaise. It’s a good start to a relaxing Sunday brunch visit, which brings positive first impressions of the new bar and restaurant, Cooper’s on Porter. It’s a woody, European pub-y place with a dash of modern

Simplicity at No. 308
Our first look at the new East Nashville bar No. 308 has us thinking of the ultimate retro rec room bar. Owners Alexis Soler and Ben Clemons have decorated in a clean, sleek, and spare 50’s hipster style. The lofty ceiling gives the room a wide-open and airy feel. You’ll need to put in some work getting up on the tractor seat bar stools and

NY Pie Lands in West Nashville
Alright, so I’m a bit of a skeptic at times. Lately though, that skepticism has been answered by a resounding slap up to the side of the head. To wit- NY Pie. I opined on these pages about the claims on their website and how I have usually been disappointed by such boasts. Not this time. NY Pie puts out some damn good pizza. The
