This place seems pretty baren rn so I figured I’d get something going.

I recently found Nita Burrita, they just opened a few months ago and they have probably the best burritos I’ve ever had.

    One of my favorite “new” places is The Richmond. It closed a few years ago after several decades. It re-opened last summer after having been re-opened and closing once in between. As I understand it, the owners of the prior incarnation had differences and decided to part ways.

    It’s now owned by Mortalis Brewing and serves many of their beers, but also others cans/bottles and cocktails. They partner with DoughBoys for food, which is fantastic. They have a variety of pizzas cooked in a brick oven, as well as wings and truffle fries that are on point.

    It’s on Richmond Street off East Main Street, a block or two down from the Eastman School of Music.

    I have loved Happy Gut since we moved back last year. The only have two main meals on the menu but they often have a weekly special that hits hard! This week was a Vietnamese noodle salad that was so endlessly delicious I ordered two for myself next week. Otherwise I am also a big fan of Voluas as they offer 5 day brunch and it is super delicious.
