Toast on Market in New Albany (141 E. Market St., downtown) returned to social media yesterday after a lengthy hiatus to announce it will close for good, effective May 19.

The breakfast- and brunch-oriented restaurant originated in the neighborhood about to become better known as NuLu in 2006, changed locations only a short distance away a few years later, and opened a second eatery in New Albany circa 2011.

The Hoosier side was closed for a long while during the pandemic; it reopened in 2022 and almost simultaneously, the NuLu kitchen was closed.
