    A beloved Greek restaurant returns as a new farm-to-table spot gets set to open.

    Dig Inn, the fast-casual farm-to-table restaurant chain, says on its website that it’s opening at 100 W 67th Street between Columbus and Broadway, the former home of Nick and Toni’s. It plans to open in the Spring. Thanks to Andrew for the tip.

    Anik Boutique, at 2005 Broadway (68th-69th), has signs in the window stating it will close in 2 days. Thanks to Pamela for the tip.

    Heartbeat, a cardiology office, opened at 1841 Broadway near Columbus Circle. “Unlike current cardiology, which focuses on treating patients who already have heart disease, our goal is to better identify risk factors, help educate people about their heart health, and provide early diagnosis and treatment of any issues to prevent heart disease…the #1 cause of death in the US.” They’re giving our readers a special promo code, which gives you 20% off anything booked through www.hiheartbeat.com. The code is: westsiderag and can be used for online bookings.

    Touro College‘s Lander College for Women will open a new dormitory at One West End Avenue, the new condo building near 60th Street, the Post reported. “Touro College calls itself America’s largest private institution of higher and professional education under Jewish auspices. The Lander women’s college is one of Touro’s divisions in four countries, which collectively boast 18,000 students.”

    Kefi on Columbus between 84th and 85th has reopened after a brief closure by the marshal’s office.

    Incredibly excited about Dig Inn on 67th St – this will be a huge addition to the neighborhood! Really good hearty but healthy fast casual food, and there aren’t a ton of easy options in the area. Can’t wait!

    The Columbia neighborhood Dig In seems to do well. I don’t like paying over $13 for a single serving salad, so I’ll pass on the “locovore” advertising. I buy organic and local at the Farmers’ Market twice a week. No need to “Dig In”

    Worked for Touro College in the 1980s. Crummy facilities, lax supervision, and impossible for teachers to get paid. I remember waiting months for a pay check. They were the worst!

    Mysterious, even contradictory doings at Kefi and its reopening, according to Eater: https://ny.eater.com/2018/1/19/16909622/kefi-upper-west-side-nyc-eviction-michael-psilakis

    Finally some fast casual food in the area besides Chipotle and Just Salad. We need more cheapish eats!

    Dig Inn is some of the most delicious fast casual food I have had in the city. I love what they stand for and I don’t mind paying a premium for quality. I live a block from there so I am very excited for their arrival!

    Whenever I walk by the Dig Inn near my office it smells absolutely foul, yet there is also a long line of people waiting to go in, so what do I know?
