The rumor mill is humming this morning with reports that Raw, Tony Rim’s sushi and sake spot that opened at the Piazza last July, closed abruptly following New Year’s revelry. A tipster emailed Grub a photo of a box truck parked behind the restaurant being loaded with kitchen gear last night. If true, the closing comes as quite a blow for the Piazza. Raw’s location there is the same as where Shola Olunloyo’s much hyped Speck was stillborn. This morning Foobooz posted that a source at the restaurant alluded to it closing for the winter. As of this posting, owner Rim was not available for comment. [Foobooz]
