Bone Lick BBQ (1133 Huff Road) fell victim to a smash-and-grab robbery last Thursday. Suspects used a rock to smash Bone Lick's front window and made off with a cash register, which was later found on the Maynard Terrace exit ramp off of Interstate 20. Owner Mike LaSage said burglars also attempted to steal a flat screen TV and the restaurant's ATM.
In case you missed it, Decatur's Carpe Diem, located at 105 Sycamore Place, has closed. The restaurant's last day of operation was Dec. 23.

After closing its 2888 Buford Highway location in November 2012, Lebanese restaurant Lawrence's Cafe will soon relocate, joining Revolution Doughnuts, Ale Yeah!, and Avellino's Pizza at 910 W.

Hodgepodge Coffeehouse and Gallery in East Atlanta has added brunch to its repertoire. The menu will include vegan, vegetarian, paleo, and gluten-free options.

After speculation that Engine 11 Firehouse Tavern would close after Dec. 31, 2012, the space at 30 North Ave. is now listed as available for lease.
