T Stands For Final Time at DeFazio's

 

Before we begin, if your Second on the 2nd and your T Tuesday post are the same, please link both places.

And this was the last time we were at DeFazio's.  They stayed open during Covid, but reduced their menu to what was on the front and back of the laminated sheet we were given (shown in photo).  No lunch menu and no specials.  Sadly, they went out of business this spring.  You can see Sally and I are both drinking water with lemon.
 
Now it's your turn to provide us with a drink inspired entry.  The only requirement to join is you must include a drink or a reference to a drink, teapot, mug, etc.
 
Here is where you link if you are playing in T Stands For Tuesday, or if your T post is different from your Second Look.

Sorry to hear that your restaurant has gone out of business, the same happened to many bars and restaurants here. Happy T Day, will be back tomorrow for 2nd on the 2nd. Hugs, Valerie

Such a shame the restaurant went out of business, seems be the same story here too. So lovely to see Sally smiling this T Day 😊. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x

So sad they went out of business, especially as I know it was one of your favorites. Happy T Day, Elizabeth!

Carola Bartz said...

It's sad when a place closes where you liked to go to. I hope you and Sally will find another place that you feel you want to support.

Lisca said...

It's always sad when that happens. Luckily around here none of the restaurants we know have gone out of business. Most are family run and rely on local clientele rather than tourists or people passing through.
I hope you'll find another Italian restaurant that you and Sally both like.
Keep smiling,
Hugs,
Lisca

It's sad to have a favorite place disappear. Especially restaurants because they aren't replaceable, aren't they? It's too bad they managed to make it through covid, but I imagine it must have slowly eaten away at their business. Happy T day. I hope your month has started off well, and it's not too hot right now. Hugs-Erika

It is so disappointing when a restaurant we enjoy goes out of business. Places are struggling everywhere unfortunately. I hope you are able to find a new place to enjoy.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

So many places have not survived through COVID. Its a shame. Hope you are able to find other places to go.
Happy T day

It happened to a lot of good businesses, ha including mine. We have had several close here in my town too. Hope you are staying cool.

Too many businesses have closed. World-wide.
Water and lemon? Delicious - and cooling.

Seems businesses everwhere are suffering, lovely pics though. ♥

Iris Flavia said...

Very sad. Just one more who didn´t make it and according to your friend´s smile it was a great place, too.
It´s the same here, too. So many closed down due to COVID. One wants to cry.
Where do these people work now, how do they make a living? How depressed must they be.
At least we have these memories and life will get better, I am sure - happy T-Day, dear host.

Cloudia said...

Oh that's too bad!

CJ Kennedy said...

That's so sad. At least you have happy memories of eating there. Happy T Day

Jackie McGuinness said...

So many restaurants and retail have gone out of business here too because of the pandemic. Also businesses can't find employees.

Divers and Sundry said...

The pandemic was the death of many a business :( I'm sad for the ones we've lost but so grateful for the local restaurants that managed to make a go of it.

Happy T Tuesday!

A shame the restaurant went out of business.
I always think a nice glass of water with a slice of lemon is so refreshing.

All the best Jan
