On and Off the Menu: The May Update

Cheap and cheerful appear to be the new watchwords in Nashville dining, as the month of May saw a slew of new cheap eats opening up, plugging the holes left by recent restaurant closings.

The Local Taco filled a vacuum in the space that formerly housed Goldie's, Bro's, Red Rooster, Murphy's Loft and Portland Brew, and in the process, sucked all the Cinco de Mayo crowds onto its cheery Sylvan Park patio. Pranzo Jersey Italian Cafe picked up where In Dyer Need left off at the Roundabout. The Wine Loft announced it would open in June in the Gulch space that housed the bygone BarTwenty3.

Bombay Bistro fortified the international offerings along Carothers Parkway in Cool Springs. Jolly Rogue parked a trailer of snowballs next to the ever-so-cool weenie wagon in East Nashville, Zumi Sushi confirmed Belcourt's title as Nashville's Next Noshing Neighborhood, and Jimmy Carl's Lunch Box brought lunch and life to the venerable Station Inn during the daylight hours.

An expanded list of 2009 openings and closings is available after the jump.

Urban Flats also opened in 2009 (January).
This updated list of new restaurants is always wonderful! May we see many more openings in 2009.
