The news for local foodies this week includes notices about restaurants one can cross off the list, either seasonally or permanently.
Rugosa restaurant in East Hampton closed up shop for good as of last weekend. In Montauk, Dave’s Grill ended its 2011 season, and, on Napeague, the Lobster Roll will serve its final plates of seafood for this year on Sunday.
