Get ready for the evolution of The Goodwich. The popular Downtown sandwich spot is building a second location in the southwest at Buffalo and Warm Springs, in the same new center that will house new restaurants from Fukuburger, Fist of Fusion and Jogasaki Burrito. The new Goodwich should open in December or January and will be about 50 percent bigger than its predecessor, and offer full service instead of counter service only, a patio and a bar serving beer and wine. Owner Josh Clark says all your favorites will stay on the menu at Goodwich the sequel, but new dishes will be popping up, too.
The Palms shuttered many of its best-known venues very suddenly last week. In addition to restaurants N9NE Steakhouse and China House, rooftop nightclub Ghostbar, live-music spot the Lounge and center bar Social all closed on September 6 to allow for new construction to take place, according to an email from a Palms spokesperson. Nove Italiano will be open seven days a week during this transition, and a “best of” N9NE Steakhouse menu created by longtime chef Barry Dakake will be added to the Nove menu later this month.

We will look forward to sharing any and all additional news about the Palms’ new offerings when plans are solidified.”
