With April Fools Day being only yesterday, RocLinks will be a little light this week. Even so, step right this way...
Grand Closing!
Another one bites the dust with the closure of the corner bakery over at Collegetown. It's easy to think this shows some sort of long term trend, as does the closing of Cosentino's, but...
Grand Opening!
...At the exact same time Bar 145 just opened
at Collegetown. The 8th location for the 'chain' based on Toledo, this is the first in New York. Good luck to them.
Don't Say I'm Back
In other local-venue-news, Water Street Music Hall received a conditional license
to keep operating. There's a laundry list of requirements that should probably be titled "Stuff Water Street Should Already Have Been Doing." Maybe now they will?
April Fools!
And finally, we are, of course, not the only people to have an April Fools post. With that in mind, I wanted to link to one of my favorites
that would also be great in Rochester. * * *
