.Rico’s Reborn

Here’s one for all you night owls: Just as we were mourning the death of Rico’s Diner (400 15th St.), What the Fork got word that the recently shuttered burger-and-milkshake shack will be reborn this week as Rico’s Hi Life, a pizza-and-beer joint. Better yet, Damon Gallagher, one of the restaurant’s new owners, said his hope is that the reborn Rico’s will fill one of downtown Oakland’s biggest voids: the lack of late-night food options.
