-Pastroudis Retaurant & Bar,one of Alexandria landmarks through recent history is under heavy renovation & redecoration process ,the legendary has been closed for almost two years now ,the management opened a new branch last year at the new area beside Alexandria International Garden but the original place remained closed ,every time I passed beside the place I felt very sad for it ,many events happened there ,if you are a fan of Mohammad Mounir and you can remember one of his old posters for one of his 90's tapes where he was sitting on a cafe' table somewhere on the daylight ,this was a table at Pastroudis ,I have even watched the Legendary Ahmed Zaki shooting some scenes there for his movie(Al Batal) ,there were a lot of rumors during the past years saying that the whole place were bought by McDonald's Egypt and will be turned as a new outlet for them but thanks god this didn't happen ,if you pass there nowadays you will see the works going on not for the place only but for all the building which will add more value to the place ,Welcome back Pastroudis!

-DOWNSTAIRS ,the famous discotheque located at Sofitel Cecil Downtown is reopened again ,it's open every day except Tuesdays and there's matinee parties every Thursday ,Friday & Sunday.

-tapas ,one of my favorite Mexican food outlets has been closed for no apparent reason ,the green plaza located place was successful in my point of view and they never noted having any lack of success or financial problems ,they said they were closed till the end of Ramadan and will be opened before eid ,and suddenly there Mo'men outlet in their place! ,no information yet if they will be relocated elsewhere or not.

-Far & Away ,the well known Restaurant & Pub at Horryea Avenue(Down Town) will be reopened soon under new management by the original owner ,a new decoration is taking place ,not only that but the owner will open a Cafe' at the downlevel floor viewing all the Avenue ,notably inspired by the huge success of nearby Roastery Cafe' ,more details soon.

-Another sad closure ,Tartino Cafe at Green Plaza has closed ,this time I know why they were closed without having to ask any one of the management ,every time I pass there there would be a very little amount of guests although most of the Cafe's at Green Plaza mall has different degrees of success but the Tartino place were in one of the most unspotted spots there ,they had very little visibility ,anyway the Agami branch is still open next summer beside their planning to open a new branch in yet unknown location.
