Newport Restaurant Closes After Nearly 30 Years
York Street Café, located a few blocks from Newport on the Levee, recently announced that it was closing after nearly three decades in business, another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant, known for its quirky décor and wide-ranging seasonal menu, had been around since the late 1990s, but the Queen Anne style building it was housed in dates back more than 140 years, so it probably won’t remain empty for long.
Catch-A-Fire Plans for New Location
