I just took a walk up AV. 5 to calle 40 (starting at calle 28). This is what I found. The following restaurants were CLOSED - maybe just not open on Friday, maybe vacation, and maybe CLOSED. I don't know as none had any signage saying why they were not open tonight.
1) Como Como (on vacation)
2) el Facon Parilla
3) 1847
Again, I am not saying that they are closed for good - JUST NOT OPEN TONIGHT, FRIDAY NIGHT.

On a happier note: El Emporio (on calle 36 just west of AV.5) had a sign out offering a 30% discount on parilla meals (grilled meats?).

I am only the messenger.

The Glass Bar Restaurant at AV. 5 and calle 12 is closed for remodeling - at least that's what the signage says. Also it says reopening June 21st.

Yes. It says it's opening Thursday, June 21st.

Damn, I hope that it doesn't close as I have a gift certificate for the Glass Bar.
As far as confused.........I was born confused and having June 21st be on a Tuesday and a Thursday is really confusing me.

Do you know what the weather will be manana? I need to know what to wear. See you manana. And whatever the weather - it will be great.

The weather does not look promising. We're hoping for the best.

Was up at 4am as usual. My weather station only tells me that it is 85 degrees ouside and that it is nightime. I am predicting a wonderful day.

EDIT: 4:35am : one big lightening bolt lit up the sky followed by thunder followed by torrential rain. I am trading in my weather prognosticator. WTF!
