April brought green leaves and blooming flowers to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, along with a fresh wave of restaurant openings across the region. In Edwardsville, Illinois, 222 Artisan Bakery & Café unveiled its new location on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Street, while State Street on LaSalle found a new home in the riverside town of Elsah, Illinois. On South Grand in the city, the eagerly awaited Grand Bistro Vietnamese Restaurant — led by the Trinh family — opened in the former Pho Grand space.
Only two closures marked the month. Gourmet to Go, a longtime favorite for retail and catering on Clayton Road, has closed its doors. In Chesterfield, Babbo’s Spaghetteria ended its 15-year run, though its locations in Frontenac and Edwardsville remain in operation.
