The Sylvan Park Restaurant in the Melrose neighborhood just served its last slice of pie. The restaurant, which about a decade ago took over the space at 2330 Franklin Pike that once held the legendary Melpark diner, declared that today's service, ending at 3 p.m., would be its last. The original Sylvan Park Restaurant in Sylvan Park closed a couple years ago. Both restaurants are exiting to make room for redevelopment in booming neighborhoods.
The owners of the Sylvan Park Restaurant note that they still have a location in Green Hills, on the ground floor of the Green Hills Apartments for Retired Teachers building at 2209 Abbott Martin. That restaurant, which operates 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, will add breakfast hours (6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday) starting this Monday.
