A second outpost of Tortilla Coast recently opened up shop at the corner of 15th and P in Logan, and it is much different from its sister restaurant on the Hill. New neighborhood, new style — the spot focuses on authentic Mexican, a breath of fresh air from the standard Tex-Mex fare to which we’re…

The Big Board Adds an Upstairs
Happily, The Big Board, the new bar in the place of sad what-could-have-been story, Toyland, is doing very, very well in its new home at 4th and H, NE. Every time I have been in or walked by, the bar is filled with friendly-looking types of all ages, creating the everybody-knows-your-name-but-not-in-a-weird-or-creepy-way vibe. What’s more, now…
