"Village mainstay Pearl Oyster Bar is out after 25 years, owner Rebecca Charles announced in an Instagram post last month. The popular seafood restaurant, famed for its lobster roll, bowls of clam chowder, and legendary bouillabaisse, attributed the closure to the rising costs of running a business during the pandemic. “Independent restaurants, with the current dynamics, are getting to be a thing of the past,” Charles writes." - Luke Fortney
