Washington Avenue may be losing a staple restaurant, but it’s gaining a culinary classic. Restaurateur Benjy Levit will close down his eponymous eatery benjy’s on Washington at the end of the year to make way for an entirely new concept dubbed The Classic — All Day.
A fresh take on the classic neighborhood diner, The Classic will tout a gimmick-free menu featuring a lighter take on both old and new iconic dishes as well as an inventive bar program sporting old fashioned and modern takes on three-ingredient cocktails. Benjy’s will officially take its final bow on New Year’s Eve.
