Jewelers ready wares; Flicka celebrates
The new Tu Madre location at Melrose and Larchmont is open for business, and the high-end jewelry and Rolex retailer at 119 N. Larchmont Blvd. is nearing completion.
Larchmont Jewelers told us that an official opening day is not yet set, but the store will begin doing business Aug. 1. Apparently, completion of installation of the building’s new elevator will be the final step leading to a grand opening.
Client services manager Eva Tong said special events marking the long-awaited opening will be held, but plans were still being made as of the Larchmont
Chronicle’s press deadline. In the meantime, passersby can peek in to see the swanky hanging lights and get a sense of the store’s elevated style.
Longtime Boulevard children’s store Flicka celebrates its 32nd anniversary this year. The boutique, located at 204 N. Larchmont Blvd., is a local favorite for birthday gifts, clothes and toys and offers a fun place to browse amidst the more sugary options lining the Boulevard.
Tu Madre has opened its newest location for taco dining at the corner of Melrose Avenue and Larchmont Boulevard. Patrons of the eatery’s earlier small window takeout location will be pleased to know the tacos are back and that the new, larger upper Larchmont location features indoor and outdoor dining. The decor is colorful and inviting and features a sleek indoor bar and cute blue-and-white patio chairs. Stop by for a classic margarita, tacos with exciting twists and burritos and bowls that include many plant-based options.
Village Pizzeria at 131 N. Larchmont Blvd., which was sold by local Steve Cohen in July 2022, is for sale again. BizBuySell.com recently listed the pizzeria, which has been a staple on the Boulevard for the past 28 years. The Chronicle has reported on the ongoing dispute between founder Cohen and the restaurant’s current owners regarding memorabilia collected by Cohen. When we inquired as to the reason for the sale listing, co-owner Amy Saxon declined to answer.
