You Must Remember These

Dan Woog

Recent postings about DeRosa’s, Zaffronia and Zest prove that restaurants are born to die.

In Westport, it seems, the mortality is particularly high.

Long-time resident Jeff Strauss has compiled a list of local eateries that have gone to that Great Kitchen in the Sky.  Some are of recent vintage; others are as old as a fine wine.

Some spent years as Westport landmarks; others were here about as long as it takes to nuke popcorn.

All, however, deserve a spot on our list of local trivia.  At one time or other, every Westporter says “What was the name of that restaurant where…?”

Here’s Jeff’s list (augmented by a few of my own).  Click the “comment” link above or below this post to add the many places we’ve forgotten.
