So, finally, Yummy Pho is open downtown, replacing Maba Grill across from the Arch. It sounds like things are in the usual chaotic state of a brand-new restaurant, but it's nice to have banh mi back downtown.

Word around town is that The Sultan, late of Atlanta Highway near Best Buy and roller of the best dolmeh I have ever had, is making a return, taking over the Stuffed Burger space on Baxter.

Five & Ten and Donderos' have both received official permission to move quarters, the former to what was Hawthorne House on Milledge and the latter just next door. The best part of the news about Hugh Acheson's restaurant isn't the expanded parking (although not having to deal with Prestige is appealing), but the fact that it plans to add both a light breakfast and lunch.
