Here’s what’s happening today on the Lower East Side food/restaurant beat:

  • T Magazine talks up the “Modern Bromance” taking place at Lost Weekend, the new coffee bar and lifestyle shop on lower Orchard Street.
  • Heartbreak, the German-Swiss spot on East 2nd Street, is closed for good. Not even a Michelin star, awarded just last week, could save the year old restaurant.
  • Eater reports that Shang, the sushi restaurant in the Thompson LES Hotel, has closed.
