Too bad about Sidebar. They had great food. Perhaps they could move into the space where Mineola was.

I feel like so sad about many of these small restaurants that close- but at the same time you've got to be out there marketing to remind people to go, you know? Zara doesn't have a website after being open for weeks and I don't believe its a budget issue because their facebook is also a ghost town. I know not every small business has the budget for an online marketing person but OH MY GOODNESS owners, google that stuff! It's important! This is really said with love. I don't want to see anymore good places close because everyone forgot they were there. Or never found them to begin with.
