Lawanna's, which moved this past year from the heart of the Bedford strip to Grand Street, is having a closing sale. Apparently, the Grand Street location did not have the drop-in foot traffic necessary to maintain the business. (Grand Street, is a great retail area, but realistically, it probably is more of a destination retail area.)

Nearby, a new storefront for a new restaurant has gone in at 167 Grand (the former head shop/coffee shop next to La Villita Bakery).
