Neighborhood news:  the ginger pig has finally opened here! Better late than never. And the tapas place that used to be an organic gastropub (good pub, lousy food) has closed and the space is now reopening as a pub.  I think most tapas places are doomed to failure. It's taking something that works in kind of a pub crawl model and trying to turn it into a dinner. Tapas menus are so long that unless the place has huge daily turnover, I'm leery of anything I order being fresh enough to be good. And it's not much fun unless you're in a large group.  Although I gave it the benefit of the doubt and went a few time when it first opened (inconsistent food), I'm not sorry to see it go.
