New Openings: Spring Edition

Here are a couple new choices we have on the Ithaca roster:

Crespella Cafe
This is the new restaurant where Anna’s Vietnamese used to be, and before that some kind of upscale comfort food restaurant. From the minimal information on their website, all I know is they offer “eating challenges for breakfast and lunch….” Good luck, it seems like this location is jinxed.
They got customers!  But they were closed.
Loco Margarita Bar and Grill
Offers half price sangria and nachos on Thursday’s happy hour. According to the write up in the Daily Sun, it looks like we won’t have to contend with too many undergrads because it's just too far from collegetown (you know, more than 8 steps), but that it will probably be overpriced.

The Piggery
Advertised as “handcrafted charcuterie from heirloom pasteurized pork.” I thought I was getting bacon.  The deli opened earlier this school year (in November), but they’ve had pigs and a blog since 2008, and a stand at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market for years. Also they seem to be expanding, now that Orange Blossom Pancake Company is out of business right in the same little building.


Coal House Café
Looks like it’s a good little brunch spot. It’s not actually new, but it at least got a renovation recently.
