1) Mid-City: Coming soon to West Third St, Marcelita's Bistro & Coffeeshop, an extension of Marcelita L'Art et Le The, the flower/tea shop that opened late last year. The bistro will be open for breakfast and lunch and will serve pastries, a full espresso bar and some savory food as well. [EaterWire]
2) West Hollywood: Delay after delay has kept that opening date for The Olive vague until last week. Interior photos show that the construction and design are coming together nicely for this Italian eatery. Management is mum on the chef, but the opening date is still set for May 12. [EaterWire]
3) Mid-City: White paint up outside Magnolia Bakery on Third St. Construction inside the bakery is moving fast and contractors think they'll be done in "a couple of weeks." [EaterWire]
4) Venice: The Quizno's that sat on this busy beachside corner closed a few months ago, but, with summer coming, locals won't have to wait long before the newest eatery here takes over. Santino's Panaderia promises to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a variety of Latin fare to choose from, including sweet breads and pupusas. [EaterWire]
5) Sunset Strip: Checking in at Kingswood on Sunset there's some scaffolding inside and stacks of wood, but not much else is going on. [EaterWire]
6) Culver City: Sang Yoon's Lukshon is moving along right on schedule. The outdoor patio is looking good with built-in seating and a - wait for it - fire pit! [EaterWire]
7) Venice: Local 1205 is under construction now that the city gave it a green light. Ownership says it will contain a raw bar, a wine/beer bar, a market place and a cafe. [EaterWire]
8) Mid-City (again): Remember Rama? Well, we checked in a few times this week and last and nothing is happening. The place looks all set from the front but it's locked up and a stack of mail is collecting under the front door... [EaterWire]
