Scott Crawford’s long-awaited Crawford Brothers Steakhouse is set to open at Fenton today, December 20. This 4,500-square-foot eatery boasts modern design, a wine library, and artwork by local artist Thomas Sayre. Meanwhile, Amitie Macaron announced the closure of its three locations, with the Crabtree store shutting down on Wednesday, December 25, and the Wilmington + Morgan Street stores closing on Wednesday, January 1. The business expressed deep gratitude for community support and encouraged patrons to visit the bakery for a final time before it closes. In exciting news for Raleigh, Insomnia Cookies is opening its second location on Fayetteville Street this Saturday, December 21. Known for its warm cookies, the late-night bakery will celebrate the launch with a grand opening featuring freebies, treats, and more. Additionally, Strada Ristobar in Glenwood South will undergo a name change to Rocco’s Italian Bistro following a trademark lawsuit from Strada Italiano in Asheville. The Asheville restaurant argued that the names were too similar, leading to confusion, and the rebranding could cost up to $20,000. Lastly, Raleigh Arts is collaborating with VertiPrint Raleigh to print a mural at Pullen Arts Center using cutting-edge wall printing technology. Designed by local illustrator Jesse White, the mural, which depicts artists’ tools, will be displayed on the center’s exterior for a year.
