Savor re-do, new at View, wine at Blue

Partner Lisa Burris at Savor Cafe says the business will be expanding into the space adjoining it, beginning in July. The new space will enable the place to add a full bar, a community table seating 16 and 24 more seats. Burris anticipates it taking about a month, but plans on closing only two days, and says they'll do a reopening party. 1404 W. Morehead St., 704-334-0098.
