Modern Bread & Bagel Comes To Montana Ave.

And just like that, a new bakery has appeared in Santa Monica.   Modern Bread & Bagel has moved into the old Breadblok space at 1511A Montana Ave.   Modern Bread & Bagel currently has two locations in New York, and one in The Valley.   They specialize in breads and famous bagels that are organic and gluten-free, and also offer a menu of bagel sandwiches, salads, bowls, and breakfast items.  

Del Frisco’s Grille Closed In Santa Monica

This is a public service announcement:  This isn’t exactly news (It happened a short while ago), but people are shocked and still writing me to let me know that Del Frisco’s Grille has vacated their prominent corner spot on the corner of Ocean and Colorado, across from The Santa Monica Pier.  With its stunning view, and catering primarily to tourists, Del Frisco’s Grille was known for their good happy hour and for special events.  I’ll keep watch on the tricky location to see what may develop.

(Thanks Jonny and others!)
