A well-known New York bakery, first to ignite the cupcake frenzy, finally opened up shop in L.A. a few weeks ago, after months of rumors and speculation. Meanwhile, 73-year-old dive bar in Hollywood, Ye Coach & Horses, is struggling to keep its doors open. For some, staying open at all is a feat: Plate 38, which opened earlier this month, is temporarily closed due to fire damage. Tracking restaurant news around town, here's a list of this month's openings and closures (including some stragglers from previous months). At the end of the day, we're all just trying to eat.
