CLARENDON—A hold-up with the liquor license means that the new Clarendon Cava location won't open today as planned, says owner Ted Xenohristos. But the good news is that the space is all completed and, once that liquor license comes through, they'll be ready to open. [POST-PLYWOOD]
SHAW—Shaw's Tavern has also been held up thanks to a delayed delivery of their hardwood floors. The estimated June 1 opening has been pushed back until sometime after those floors arrive this week. But they did get a pretty new sign, as seen to the right. [PLYWOOD]
