With fall’s arrival, I thought it’d be great to look back at the openings that took place over the summer. There’s so much news and content out there that sometimes you may not know a place opened, or perhaps you simply forgot about it. Let’s cover some notable openings during the summer of 2021. As always, you can also browse my Food & Booze Directory for all the deliciousness available in the Wichita area.
Albero Bistro (2684 N. Greenwich): One of the most anticipated restaurants was the sequel to the popular east side Albero Cafe. Pro-Tip: Get the tiramisu.
