During tumultuous times, we look for comfort. And we often find it in our go-to dishes at our longtime favorite restaurants.

But every year we say goodbye to many of those establishments. The ones we pay tribute to here had been landmarks for years, even generations. Some chefs and owners decided to retire or take a break. Others couldn’t weather the costs of doing business in this inflationary, post-pandemic era. Or ran up against redevelopment plans.
