Closed: Café Jinx
Dominque Francesca, owner of Café Jinx on Fourth Avenue, let us know that the café is now closed, and she's moving on to other artistic endeavors. Good luck.
Closed: Santillo's
Bye-bye beef on kummelweck, the Buffalo, N.Y., version of a French-dip sandwich. Chopstix is slated to open in that northwest location next. Is that a cursed location? Si Grille didn't last very long, either.
Presumed Closed: Raz
Last week, the voicemail said the restaurant was closed for renovation. Who renovates a restaurant during the season? Another media source reported it closed, and now calls to the phone number get an odd busy signal. An e-mail to the restaurant was not returned.
