BEVERLY HILLS: And?shutter: "I know you reported that E Baldi was closing. I walked by yesterday and it is officially dead. Papered up, notice for the new Tiger something owners on the windows." The new restaurant moving in: Tiger Japanese Cuisine. UPDATE: This turns out not to be true. While there are signs for a new restaurant moving into the space, the restaurant is still open and operating. For how long, we don't know. [EaterWire Inbox]

STUDIO CITY: A Valley query, some plywood and a vent in one short tip: "So what is up with the Tea Room that is next to Prana Cafe in Studio City? Has it been shuttered for good? The sign outside says it will be a japanese restaurant. That's all we need on Ventura Blvd... another sushi restaurant." [EaterWire Inbox]

HOLLYWOOD: The economy-is-in-the-toilet deals and steals are still kind of desperate, but expect to see more and more these days. Every Wednesday, Melograno, that hidden cozy Italian spot on Hollywood Boulevard near Hudson, has live music, cocktails, Italian wines and complimentary "buffet-style stuzzichini," better known as snacks. 6:30pm-9:30pm. Stick around for dinner and get 15% off the check. [EaterWire Inbox]
