DINING SCENE
Restaurant News

Rumor Mill: I’m hearing that the former Buffalo Wings & Rings space at 2636 N. Greenwich Ct. is being taken over by a Japanese sushi and hibachi restaurant.

Nothing official has been released, but there’s a chance it could be a regional chain called Izumi Hibachi and Sushi. Some of their locations even have all-you-can-eat sushi. As I mentioned, nothing confirmed so we will be on the lookout. (read more)
