Department of Useless Information
Here's when I know I've got to get a life. I found myself calling Lillies Tapas Bar and Grille at 7:30 Sunday morning. Now as Faithful Readers know, Lillies closed this summer and Tabrizi's took over the location at 500 Harborview Drive. But in the November issue of Urbanite, there's an ad for Lillies saying, "You haven't been to Lillies yet?"...

Well, no. Not since it closed in July.
It even gives the hours. Very strange. I called the phone number, expecting it to be disconnected, but it's not. The message says the restaurant will be closing for good in July (imagine if you knew nothing about all this; you would assume it meant next July) and gives the Web site.
I went to the site, and found out one thing that I didn't know before. Lillies was part of a DC-Baltimore chain.
Like I said, I've got to get a life.
But here's some not-so-useless information: David Dudley, the executive editor, is now reviewing restaurants for the Urbanite. (It's a very low-key feature that seems to have started in last month's issue, although I didn't notice it then.) This month he looks at Brasserie Tatin and Joe Squared Pizza and Bar.
