Lil’ Vinny’s Will Not Close on New Year’s Eve

Rejoice, Somervillians: You can still get your fill of red sauce in 2012 — for a little while, at least. The beloved (but apparently not beloved enough) Lil’ Vinny’s will not close on December 31, as was previously reported. “We will be open through the New Year and will keep you updated on actual closing,” they Tweet. Is this going to be another Gargoyles fake-out situation? Or maybe they’re reconsidering closing altogether? Meanwhile, Dimitra Tsourianis, rumored to be opening a spot called Daddy Jones in the space with Aura’s Rachel Klein, shoots down speculation that Klein is involved at all: “@rfklein and I are v close friends, but we are not opening a restaurant together,” she Tweeted. Hmm. [LilVinnysResto/Twitter, Earlier]
