Some good news for Taverna Nikos fans: The downtown Durham location at Brightleaf Square is planning to re-open within a week's time, after the illness of Bill Bakis' business partner Bill Kalyvas forced the Durham location's closure while Bakis focused on the Morrisville location.
BCR reader Lenore posted this update to her blog on Friday, noting that Bakis will again be running the Brightleaf restaurant.
It's incredible to see how many new restaurants have sprouted downtown in the past few years. An area already rich with strong choices a couple of years back, the mainstays have been joined by almost a dozen new options drawing more attention and interest to downtown's dining scene. That said, it's great to see the re-opening of an old favorite downtown. Welcome back, Taverna Nikos.
