Three of My Favorite Restaurants Closed in the Past Year—Economic Crisis or Something Else? (2 Italian Spots + 1 Ramen Shop)

Over the past 12 months, three of my go-to restaurants shut down unexpectedly—two family-owned Italian places and a Japanese ramen shop. Also one french go-to bakery’s owner complained about the high tax and rent on her IG.

They were always busy, but why they closed😭
