Followers of the Eppie’s Facebook Page got some sad news late last week.
“Thanks for eating at Eppie’s for 10 years! This Saturday [May 30] will be our last day of business,” wrote Dan Epstein in a released statement on EatAtEppies.com. “We’ve enjoyed getting to know you, and will miss seeing you and your families at Eppie’s.”
Our I Love CVille Team absolutely loves this Charlottesville institution, so we created this feature as a fond farewell. Here are 20 things we will miss about Eppie’s on The Charlottesville Downtown Mall:
