Wow, that didn’t last long. We noticed last night that one of the Pearl District’s newest eateries is already out of business. We enjoyed eating at Mercato several times during their eight months in operation, so we are sad to see them go.

In other Stumptown Lunch News, we are working on a review of Five Guys and we urge all of you to remember to vote!

At least three national businesses are offering yummy treats for voters on Tuesday. Get a free star-shaped doughnut at Krispy Kreme. Enjoy a steaming hot tall-sized cup of coffee at Starbucks. And, you can end Election Day with a free scoop of ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s (5 to 8 p.m.). YUM!
