Don't you keep a list of new and/or restaurants that fill those spaces?  Pink Bicycle and Papa Moes will be replaced for example..

Yukatsu & Uberger has been operating out Pink Bicycle's location for for a couple of months now. Sister restaurant to Yua Bistro I believe.

I’ve gone twice. Got the bulgogi burger and fries the first time which was very tasty. Got the fish katsu plate the second time which was incredible. I’ve been recommending the place to lots of folks.

What is "bulgogi" if you don't mind me asking?

Korean-style cooked beef. It’s very good.

Know it all.

I hope it tastes better than the name sounds.

Typically thinly sliced beef with a sweet marinade. Sometimes fruit is used to sweeten and tenderize. Cooked hot and fast.

Gone multiple times. Tried the chicken, cheese, and fish katsu and the best was by far the fish. Definitely recommended!

I used to be hooked on the bulgogi bun at Sally Bun, near Fort and Cook. So good.

As far as I know it’s still there, but it’s been a while. Might stroll there tomorrow to see.

My wife was doing an internship at an accounting firm way back when, sally buns were 2 for 1 at the end of the day and we would eat like royalty!

There haven't been 'Honey Buns' downtown for about 20 years now.

Well, they’re still there! But not right now. On vacation for a month and a half, back Feb 1. Thankfully Picnic is open across the street - also a great spot.

Still there!  Current owners bought it at least 5-7 years ago I think.  Menu is still pretty much the same, and prices are very reasonable.
