This year the Broadway Plaza Santa House is located in a real storefront which is a step up from the converted space in the parking garage of past years. This is one benefit of stores closing down for the impending Broadway Plaza demolition.

In January I noted that construction of the La Soie Bridal Building at the corner of N. Broadway and Cypress had begun and it looks to be almost complete
Thanks to a reader for sending word and photo that Tiffany’s in Walnut Creek is finally putting up a new door that was smashed in back in September.

Last week I noted that Oyama Sushi would be opening soon on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and they are now open. Check out the photos below for an inside look. Their menu can be found here. The menu will be very similar to what is offered in their Lafayette location.

Last year I wrote about possibly the most amazing part of downtown Walnut Creek, the secret koi garden behind Va de Vi on Mt. Diablo Blvd, and now the restaurant has a new, smaller koi pond similar to the koi pond next to Sasa on N. Main St. Also note the wine barrel menu display, looks great.
If you haven’t been to the koi pond in back you need to go, it’s incredible! The koi are HUGE and it’s very serene back there. While we were watching the koi swim around, numerous people wandered by and were amazed by what they saw.

Yesterday I noted that Jalisco Gourmet Burrito closed in Walnut Creek which got me thinking about Mexican restaurants. El Jarro is a favorite of mine in Lafayette, Orinda has Maya and Barbacoa, and Walnut Creek has Taqueria Mexican Grill and Maria Maria. So for today’s Friday Question of the Day, what is your favorite Mexican restaurant?
