This is beginning to feel like an obit blog. Sigh. Found out this a.m. that the Gazebo Cafe in the Textile Muse closes at the end of march. You could blame it on the frugal reporters and editors (myself included) who moved into the same building in march, but that's not what's eating owner dick barry’s bottom line. "No more functions," said the friendly proprietor. The cafe that specializes in roasted turkey, hot pastrami and hotdogs, not to mentions good soups, attracted a steady crew of LWL in its 10-year run. But the red hats cannot single-handedly save a biz. Since the museum closed (temporarily), the cafe's catering biz went down the tubes. This was one of Lowell’s hidden gems, perhaps too hidden. Guess the condo dwellers upstairs didn’t help much either. Anyone bummed by the gazebo's demise? Where are we going to grab a quick bite on the dutton/fletcher st. axis, Furey’s?
Gazebo's days are numbered

This is bad news. I'm feeling guilty because I haven't been there for about two years (blame it on Life Alive and my discovery of the joys of Pho at Viet Thai on Merrimack). Still, the homemade breads, inventive salads and delicious soups were a given at the Gazebo. The location is a bit out-of-the-way though....
That's too bad. I've been meaning to try that place for years.
Fureys actually makes a good burger. The beer is cheap and for some weird reason I love the atmosphere. However, Lowell newbie's may feel uncomfortable in there.
