It’s going into the space formerly known as Talbot’s on Wycliff and Oak Lawn. Barsotti says he anticipates opening in March 2012. The store’s logo was inspired by the sign of his family’s restaurant on the East Coast. It opened in Manhattan before moving to Harrison, New Jersey. It was open for 75 years and closed in 1993.
