The Brentwood Chinese restaurant that closed after a fire earlier this year has reopened, with new booths and fresh paint.
Hunan Wok, in Brentwood, has reopened, owner Jason Lee wants everyone to know. He was a partner in the restaurant with Angela Lin, and she retired, he said, so now it's his. The restaurant closed in May after a fire. Lee pointed out the fresh paint, new booths and new marble bar. He said the kitchen, where the fire was, is all new.

There's a celebration at Maya Cafe, in Maplewood.
The Torture Chamber Orchestra plays at Maya Cafe every Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) and April Fools Day. The players are all musicians of some sort, but play instruments they don't normally play, or are just learning to play. The result is that they sound like a very dedicated seventh-grade band. At the Maya on Friday they dressed for the occasion. See more photos on Maplewood-Brentwood Facebook (Like it!)
Tickets were available as of Friday night.
