Broke Students Force Arpeggio To Close On The Drag

The Guadalupe location of Arpeggio Grill has closed its doors to make way for a Fuzzy's Taco Shop along the UT Drag. The Daily Texan reports that the family-owned Arpeggio's Greek and Mediterranean fare couldn't compete with its cheap eats neighbors:

Fida Shah, joint owner of Arpeggio Grill, said he was sad to leave his location on the Drag, but is still operating at a second location on Airport Blvd. He said the rent on the Drag was twice as much as he is paying on Airport.

“The Guadalupe location is a different ball game than the Airport location,” Shah said. “Students couldn’t afford our prices that were necessary with our quality of food.”
