DIVISION/CLINTON—Bad news for vegan brunchers: Portobello Vegan Trattoria has announced that it will stop its weekend brunch service, effective immediately.

E. BURNSIDE—In today's Arbitrary Listage report, Travel + Leisure has dropped its list of the "Best French Restaurants in the U.S.," and Gabe Rucker's Le Pigeon gets a lengthy nod for fueling "a national shift in the definition of what makes a great French restaurant." The article also uses the phrase "quirky edibles" to describe Rucker's cooking. [T+L]
