Suá Replacing Wexler’s In Downtown Santa Monica

It appears that after 10 years, smoked fish experts Wexler’s Deli have closed up shop at 616 Santa Monica Blvd. in Downtown Santa Monica. This is not the end: A gracious note on the front door explains that they are pivoting to a wholesale business and you will soon be able to find their proprietary lox at hotels and restaurants. In other exciting news, the note also explains that “Sichuan Superette” Suá, will be taking over the space. If you haven’t had a chance to visit their charming Larchmont location, you can expect delightful hand-stirred matcha and coffee drinks, organic Sichuan grab-and-go, Asian snacks, and carefully curated pantry and home goods.

Potato Chips Deli Coming To Century City

Opening a new restaurant during COVID is dicey.  One plucky contender throwing caution to the wind is Potato Chips Deli.  They are moving into the space formerly occupied by Wexler’s Deli in the food court of the Westfield Century City Shopping Center.  Potato Chips Deli currently operates two other locations (Beverly Grove and Culver City).  Sandwiches are their specialty:  check out their menu here.  We wish them the best of luck.
