Arepa Bar Teote Will Open a Location Within Pine Street Market

Portland’s restaurant owners are smashing as many openings into the end of the year as possible. The posh new bar Abigail Hall is now open in the Woodlark hotel, a new Pok Pok Wing just popped up in SW Portland, and that’s not even touching the brand-new Din Tai Fung in the Washington Square Mall. Even among all the new opening coverage, there were a few news highlights that didn’t hit Eater PDX this week:

TRES-OTE — Arepa and mezcal bar Teote, with locations in SE and NE Portland, will cross the river with a new location within Pine Street Market. Along with the other menus’ classics, this tiny Teote will have tacos, a departure from the other locations. It should open within the next 12 days. [Portland Mercury]

EBBING AND FLOWING — Local yogurt brand Eb & Bean will open a new location in Northwest Portland next year, with haute froyo flavors, scratch toppings, and plenty of options for the non-dairy crowd. The new location will open across from Cinema 21 at 625 NW 21st. [Portland Monthly]

HOLLANDAISED AND CONFUSED — Those counting down the days until Fried Egg I’m in Love opens its very-first permanent restaurant should get excited: The popular brunch cart should open its brick and mortar “in three weeks,” according to a Facebook post. Three weeks from the post date would be January 5; if the restaurant is anything like the original cart, get ready for long lines throughout the month. [EaterWire]

THE VERN RETURN — Hanigan’s Tavern, known by Portlanders as “the Vern,” is switching up its ownership. The gang behind Elvis Room and Gold Dust Meridian will take over the classic dive, sprucing it up with vintage furniture and special bottles from the new owners’ personal collection. The pinballs and pool tables will stay. [The Merc]
