Lydia House will be closing, ending nearly four years of serving up bowls of steaming ramen, offbeat sandwiches and concerts, its owner has announced.
Owner Emily Ruff said in a Facebook post that the Lydia Street restaurant's last shift will be Sunday Brunch, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 30.
"The restaurant biz is really tough, and I just can’t hang anymore," she wrote. "Getting to know my neighbors, hosting musicians and artists, and having the privilege of working with amazing people has been such a joy, and I cannot say thank you enough to all of you.
