    1. Giuseppina's. Still not open although the build out has been complete for months.

    2. It doesn't matter what they name the new restaurant in the Playa location. Since 2003 there have been 4 restaurants in that location - Bibi's, Night & Day,Lookout Hill, and Playa. All were bad and all closed in a year. It's a cursed location.

      5 restaurants. You forgot the reincarnation of Biscuit BBQ between Night & Day and Lookout Hill.

        I must have blocked that out. The failure rate in that location is amazing.

          Maybe they should try a Shake Shack? ;-)
