Stopped by Vito's* last night, and it looked even more barren than earlier. So I asked by friend Eric, who had introduced me to the place and seems reasonably tight with Vito, what gives.
His response:
"I'm told that Vito might be throwing in the towel. Too many hassles with the
City and too many employee problems. There is an e-mail address for a group
that is trying to save the joint: wemissvitos@easthollywood.net
They will contact you about the next step.
Until then some of my friends have recommended the pizza place on Larchmont.
I know it is heresy, but..."
* excellent pizza place; Vermont a couple blocks north of Melrose in Hollywood. This is the most recent of a continuing series of updates
