A new Chinese restaurant called Iron Kitchen will soon open at 581 Moraga Rd. in Moraga where Basil Asian Restaurant used to be. Moraga has two well known Chinese restaurants, Chef Chao and Asia Palace so I wonder how this will stack up to them.

The sculpture garden behind the Lafayette Gallery is closing and will be turned into a parking lot to allow for more parking spots for the new restaurant The Cooperage opening this fall across the way. In June I noted that the Twigs Floral building was getting demolished as well. The good news is that the parking lot in front of the Lafayette Gallery is apparently going to turn into a sitting area, and sculptures may possibly be displayed there if they can be bolted down.
Empty sculpture garden to become a parking lot:

Last month I posted about Vitality Bowls opening at the end of July in downtown Walnut Creek and as you can from the sign they will be opening July 19th and there will be free toppings and special giveaways throughout the weekend. I can’t wait as these acai bowls are perfect for a hot summer day!
The Lafayette based home decor and gift shop Transitions has opened a new location at the backside of Broadway Plaza.
From their website:
Transitions is a quintessential “Mom and Pop” business. Transitions originally opened in 1976 as an upscale beauty salon in San Francisco. In 1986 we left the big city, to start a new business and raise our children in Lafayette. Though a hair dresser by trade, I’ve always had a love for home decor and all things beautiful, hence the gift store. Our boutique is festooned with an array of thoughtfully chosen treasures for you, your home, or gifting.
Inside showcases antique tuba from 1930s:
You may recall in May I posted scuttlebutt about the backside of Broadway Plaza closing in 2014 and this is in-line with that as Transitions will only be in Broadway Plaza until the end of the year.
