New Jam on Hawthorne, Mucca Osteria, Verde Cocina Open

SOUTHEAST: SE Hawthorne's popular breakfast joint Jam has expanded next door into the just-shuttered Imbibe space, and the under-the-radar debut of "Big Jam" has also brought with it new food menus (serving dinner), a 14-item cocktail menu, and extended hours: Big Jam is now open nightly until midnight.

DOWNTOWN: The Italian-leaning Mucca Osteria, by chef/owner Simone Savaiano, opened over the weekend in the SW Morrison location once known as AJ on the Rails. They'll be open Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner; 11:30am-2pm and 5-10pm nightly. [Facebook]

HILLSDALE: Tipsters at PortlandFood.org report that Verde Cocina's brick-and-mortar restaurant has officially opened in the Hillsdale space that was once home to Caffe Autogrill. [PF.org]
