Maple Street Trades College Bar for Japanese Bistreaux

By the time college is back in session, Maple Street will likely have a new Asian food option come the fall. Kakkoi Japanese Bistreaux received approval to serve booze from the City Council, setting up a late August opening date. The restaurant - whose name means "awesome" or "cool" in Japanese - is located in the former location of Doors Bar, which was one of a few college bars in the area that caught the eye of city enforcers for underage drinking.
