The long-established Munchner Haus Delicatessen in Fremont, aka Rita's German Deli, is reportedly closing by the end of this year. The establishment has been around for more than 30 years, serving Reubens on dark rye, potato salad, red cabbage, imported beer and other German specialties. The number at Rita's, located at 39212 Fremont Blvd., is disconnected and the owner could not be reached. People on the Fremont Reddit are already lamenting the impending closure, which several people have said will be by the end of this year. "There's a sign by their door saying that they are closing and selling everything including fixtures, etc. I'm trying to find a time to get a sandwich before it happens," wrote one Redditor.

For more than 50 years Jade Palace has been a fixture in the Newark community, serving chow mein and Mongolian beef to lifetime regulars and celebrities like rock musician Greg Kihn and pro wrestler Alexis Smirnoff. But that legacy is ending on December 21 when the restaurant in the Old Town Center shuts its doors for good. The family that runs Jade Palace is calling it quits following the death of family patriarch and restaurant founder, Edwin Yee Wing Lee, last winter. “My dad fell and had a hemorrhage and eventually bled to death. He fought for a whole month in the hospital but did not make it,” says Phillip Lee, who's been running the restaurant ever since with family members. “My dad, he was going to be 90 pretty soon, but he was still the Energizer Bunny. He was one of those kinds of guys who lived to work – for 50 odd years, he'd been working here every single day.”
