Cambridge: Fried chicken restaurant and live music venue Lily P's closed down abruptly this month after nearly six years in Kendall Square. It's not clear what exactly prompted the closure, but the restaurant may not be gone forever. 'We'd love to be able to continue to operate sometime in the not-too-distant future,' co-owner Alex Tannenbaum tells Eater. In the meantime, Lily P's Hub Hall outpost at TD Garden remains open. 50 Binney Street

Downtown Boston: Pinoy Kabayan, one of Boston's few Filipino restaurants, appears to have closed down. The counter-service restaurant served all-day breakfast with some standout longganisa, a Filipino-style sweet pork sausage, plus lunch go-tos like stir-fried noodles and adobo chicken. However, Boston Restaurant Talk reports that another Filipino restaurant, Kanaka Cafe, will be opening in its place. Eater has reached out to the restaurant for more details on the switch-up. 71 Broad Street
