LITTLE ITALY— The Busalacchi's North End Lounge has reopened after a quick redo. You'll now find an oyster bar, seafood appetizers and a Monday to Thursday, 3 to 6 p.m. happy hour with $5 beers, $6 prosecco and $2 off all glasses of wine. According to a Yelp review, the lights behind the new cocktail bar "change colors with the beats of the (DJ-spun) music." [Yelp, EaterWire]
KEARNY MESA— Kirbie's Cravings had a first sip at M.I. Tea Express, which just opened next to the new Zion Market. The shop serves the usual boba drinks and some signature concoctions; the Rose Blossom is a rose syrup-flavored tea with basil seeds, fruit jelly and boba. [Kirbie'sCravings]
