Restaurant Bermuda Triangles

Jiffy posted this comment under my online review of Tabrizi's yesterday, and I thought it was an interesting topic for discussion.

I also had the chance to read about the new Tabrizi's in the past month or so in Baltimore Sun and Urbanite magazine, and I wonder what purpose does it serve to mention to the readers how many "deads" that location claimed?!!

I think Tom Peddy was probably getting at the same thing in his post under my entry on the Longo's space. (And did you notice he gave us the name of the new place, Tark's Grill?)

I see their point, and yet...

...not to mention something so central about a restaurant seems like ignoring the elephant in the room.

I'd like to make two lists: one of restaurant spaces that have had lots of tenants (Red Fish is another one) and one of places that have finally found the right fit, although there has been a lot of turnover (maybe The Spice Company, pictured?). If you can think of any other examples, please post below.

What about the place next to Kislings on Fleet? I am not sure of the name now, but I think it was a middle eastern place for a while. And something before that or maybe it was something in-between the middle eastern place and what it is now. A tough location for parking and being in the "dead" zone between Canton and Fells.
