Scoop reports that Oakland’s BARKADA is closed after just over a year in business, bummer. Their last day of service was Sunday July 6th, and there is no word on exactly what caused the closure or what might be moving in. 4316 Telegraph Ave. at 43rd St., Oakland, 510-601-7314.
Small whole-animal lunch spot MARROW has closed, East Bay Express reports. Apparently, owner Jon Kosorek has been trying to find a larger space for the restaurant, and was also struggling to keep his menu the way he wanted it while still appealing to the lunchtime crowd in the neighborhood. Kosorek and his wife also just had a baby, and are taking some time to decide what their next move might be. In the meantime, he’ll be working with a friend’s catering company in Napa. 325 19th St. at Webster.
