The infamous Green Room is back. There are just too many good memeories associated with that place for me to ever accept it closing. No matter how awful the service/food/cleanliness. The atmosphere of the place on a hot summer night is something unique. If you stick to bottled beer you'll avoid any health risks too

Also the famous New York Subway is closing. At least temporarily. Mixed messages from that thread about what will ultimately happen to the place, but it's certain what is there now will be gone for the near future.

a--one of the last ungentrified old-school spoons in the core--

I had breakfast at the Senator on my last trip, I'm sure that old gem would fit that catagory!

There's an application in to put a 2 storey 200 seat restaurant in this space. On this strip of Yonge, the more restaurants the better.

Not the "ungentrified" part.

And not sure if *this* has been mentioned/observed yet, but the Victoria Restaurant at Queen + Victoria--one of the last ungentrified old-school spoons in the core--seems to have bit the dust...

Head on up to the Cityview on the 8th floor of the Simpsons Tower. That'll fix you up.

For now you can. I think it bites the dust in April, IRCC.

Cityview is not really an old-school greasy spoon, but I know what you mean. You can order a grilled cheese and get a salad of mainly iceberg lettuce.

Very disappointing. They offered a good product cheap and I also admired how they won their war with the much bigger "Subway." I could be wrong, but I think they are the same owners as Gadhi (also excellent) down the street.

Not so fast about NY Subway

Salvati mens clothing on Cumberland across from Lettierri will close on March 31 and will apparently be converted to a coffee shop by the same owner.

And it's already closed again.

Indeed; breakfast for two: $50.

I was there in January, a full breakfast for two was about $20.

Looks like the Swiss Chalet on Yonge Street is permanently closed. They removed the signature sign yesterday.I guess they realized the renovations would be too expensive. Unless they have found a new location?

A new larger "Lease" sign has been installed.

Good move considering the building Lettieri currently occupies is going to be demolished for a condo.

New Starbucks at Church & Gerrard is almost ready.
