LPD press release states it occurred on Porter Street, which appears to run perpendicular between Nesmith and High Streets.

I am a huge fan of the Old Court. Cozy, safe, welcoming atmosphere and solid menu options for dinner. The owners are really good folks who take care of their staff and customers. Tuesday night trivia is a fun time as are the monthly trad sessions of Irish music. I've been hanging out there for 20 years and it's always my favorite pub in Lowell.

Another fun spot is El Potro. Great margaritas and Mexican fare and festive decor.

As a Gold Star customer for 30 years, it's current (and maybe permanent) closure was a huge bummer. I've been going to Mandarin on Middlesex Street and did my annual NYE jumbo takeout order from Mandarin. Food is really good, prices are slightly cheaper than Gold Star, and my family commented they liked Mandarin better than our staple Gold Star. Many of my coworkers frequent the Mandarin as well. I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot even though it's in a different neighborhood than Gold Star.
