DOWNTOWN— Eat.Drink.Americano is a new gastropub opening May 23 in the Arts District. Proprietor Michael Burke, a partner in Café Metropol which occupied this same space for 14 years, has hired consulting chef Juan Pablo Torre (who is moving to the US from Europe) to arrange the restaurant's New American seasonal menu. The Facebook says, "artisanal cheeses, rustic breads, charcuterie specialties, domestic wines, and craft beers" are to be served. [EaterWire]
