Red & Black >> Le Pigeon >> Blueplate

By WW Editorial Staff

Rent is going up all over the city, and for the veggie-centric Red and Black Cafe (see story, page 72), it's about to double. According to employees at the worker-run collective, the building's new owner, North Rim Development, informed them of the hefty increase this spring. The collective will likely move, but wants to stay in the 'hood. North Rim was not available for comment before press time. >> Bittersweet news: Le Pigeon's stellar brunch is flying south, well, forever. The East Burnside destination (738 E Burnside St., 546-8796) is ditching brunch effective immediately. The bright side? The bird's open for dinner seven nights a week from now on. >> More delish dinner news: Downtown lunch counter Blueplate (again, see story, page 72) will open for lunch and supper Tuesday-Friday. Hooray! The catch? It's only serving until 8:30 pm. Boo.
