A roundup of local food, drink and restaurant news:
Townhouse Detroit will have a soft reopening starting today in preparation for a full reopening later this fall. The downtown restaurant at 500 Woodward Ave. will be open 5-11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5 p.m.-midnight Friday and Saturday.
Townhouse Detroit, closed since the state-mandated COVID-related restaurants shutdown was ordered in November 2020, was previously expected to reopen in July. The full reopening, now anticipated for early October, will come after construction is complete on portions of the restaurant's interior and atrium, according to a news release.
Townhouse, owned and operated by Birmingham-based Heirloom Hospitality, will be reservation only during the soft launch.
The restaurant, with a second location in Birmingham, is hiring servers, bartenders, beverage manager and cooks.
A beloved donut shop in Detroit is taking a "pause in operations" that began Wednesday.
"In an effort to resume a full staff and hours that we have prided ourselves on for 75 years, we have decided to temporarily pause operations," Dutch Girl Donuts said in a Facebook post. "We appreciate all your support over the years and will continue to keep you updated."
Fans of the shop at 19000 Woodward Ave. south of Seven Mile Road say they hope the closure is temporary.
The donut shop closed for a week earlier this summer. Dutch Girl also closed for a week in September 2020.
Calls to owner Gene Timmer and manager Jon Timmer seeking comment were not returned.
