“Transience is here to stay,” a wise man once noted — and that’s certainly true in the Vegas dining scene, where beloved restaurants too often close, leaving our taste buds despondent. But you can find excellent replacement dishes, as co-host Dayvid Figler and street foodie Brent Holmes discussed on a recent City Cast Las Vegas podcast:
If you miss: The modern Chinese cuisine at Flock & Fowl …
You might like: The Hainanese chicken at Banana Leaf Cafe
If you miss: Soul food from Seven Seas …
You might like: Fried catfish at Gritz Cafe
If you miss: Gourmet new American at Rosemary’s …
You might like: Wagyu beef carpaccio at Esther’s Kitchen
If you miss: The Vegan Egyptian street food from POTS …
You might like: Falafel at Amena Mediterranean Cafe & Bakery (temporarily closed as it changes locations — so email us your favorite falafel place)
If you miss: Classy diner fare at Mega Toms …
You might like: A breakfast burrito at Felipitos (unless you want to drive to the Mega Tom’s in Barstow.)
