Lost City follows up on the fire at D’Amico Coffee on Court Street. They say: “A large, long, hand-written sign now in the window says D’Amico is currently roasting in another location, while the old roaster will be ‘out of service for a while.’ ‘It will take more than a small fire to stop us!’ the message concludes.” Photo via Lost City. Also, Bar Bruno is launching a taqueria at 520 Henry Street, on the corner of Union. It should open later this month.
