September Preview: Dining and Lifestyle

A number of new restaurants are expected to open this fall.

Aloha Ice Cream and Coffee is moving into the space at 25th Street and Western Avenue formerly occupied by Billy Baker’s.

Dolci Mango, a European-style frozen yogurt shop, is opening in the Terraces on the Trader Joe’s level.



The owner of Think Café and Think Bistro is opening a steakhouse on Western Avenue where the Blue Crab recently closed. Now those provocative signs make sense …






The café at Port Town Plaza (formerly Caffé Port Town) will re-open under a new name and new management at the 8th Street Lofts complex.

A Lebanese restaurant is opening at 19th Street and Pacific Avenue.

Monster Burger is opening on Gaffey Street a few blocks before the freeway onramp, next to the newly remodeled Taco Bell.
