In September's Openings & Closings report, we cited a handful of openings (including Harry's Pizzeria and Phuc Yea!) and just a few closings.

In September's Openings & Closings report, we cited a handful of openings (including Harry's Pizzeria and Phuc Yea!) and just a few closings. In the October edition, there were some dozen openings (like Yardbird and the two Pubbelly spin-offs) and again just three shutterings. November's numbers look a lot like those of September, with fewer than half the debuts seen last month, and the closings remaining but a few. Only real exciting November premiere was The Dutch. December, on the other hand, is shaping up to be a blockbuster (see "On Deck" for what's coming up).
