"Unfortunately due to local noise restrictions, building residents and management concerns, we have decided to postpone the late night portion of our Pioneer Square Opening Party, thus going against the usual Caffe Vita grain of partying first and answering questions later," the company said in an e-mail.
While Elliott Bay Book Co. packs, the nearby opening celebration for Caffe Vita and Pizzeria Napoletana at 125 Prefontaine Place South (near South Washington and Fourth) now goes like this:
6 a.m. to 9 p.m. -- Free coffee
11 a.m. to close -- Free pizza
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. -- Music by The Tarantellas.
Donations benefit Vita's new neighbor, the King County cultural services agency 4Culture.
The new pizza and coffee spot is run by Chris McConnell, the son of Michael McConnell, who founded Caffe Vita and Via Tribunali.
