Food Gypsy Thursday

For those of you who are optimistic about your futures: It has come to my attention that the Maiden in the Mist (639 SE Morrison) has a fortune teller on Thursdays from 4-7 pm. According to a bartender there, she is creepily accurate.

Also, anybody know if La Villa (Brazilian/Lebanese up the street from Maiden in the Mist) is still open? I’ve heard they’re closing, and I can’t get through on the phone…

They were open last weekend. I love that place sooooo much.

They're closing? LAME!

You know, this is how rumors get started. I've HEARD they are closing (from... a bartender? Maybe the same Maiden in the Mist bartender? I'm not sure. I drink too much). Can't find any mention of it on the internets, though, save this one: http://the-gastronaut.blogspot.com/2007/03/la-villa.html which isn't too informative.

If La Villa closes my rage and sorrow will know no limits.

La Villa is closing, unfortunately. I got a call from owner Mary Awsom (sp?) yesterday stating that they have sold the business. Possibly to the owners of Blue Hour. I am deeply saddened that my diet will now suffer a moussaka deficiency.

RIP La Villa. You were loved.

So sad, their baba ganoush was THE best!
Now I guess I'll have to go to Nicolas' (overrated) ho hum.
f.y.i. I'm pretty sure it's Meire

Tried to go to La Villa last night, and it was shut down with a note on the door. R.I.P.

My heart now knows of infinite sadness. The tastiest baba ganoush and the most wonderful falafel sandwhiches, gone. Forever.

Hey folks. I've added lots more information about the closure to the post Allison mentioned

they will be missed indeed.
