New & Noteworthy
Interestingly enough, there are again no new additions to this week’s New & Noteworthy list. That said, I’ve updated a few of the links to include recent restaurant critic reviews, mainly of Rezdôra. I have been trying to get a reservation there for months (and ahead of the glowing reviews) with no luck. Maybe a 5pm weekday supper is in the cards.
