They moved; the original Elephant Walk was over in Union Square. I thought
they had a 3d branch over by Coolidge Corner (Brookline), but I find
no evidence of this at elephantwalk.com.
The original Elephant Walk was in a building that used to be a police
station, so you can see bullet holes in the wall if you eat in the
area that was the shooting range. It was eventually replaced by a place
called Rauxa, a Spanish tapas/wine bar, but I believe that's gone now.
And the site of the current Elephant Walk in Cambridge was some upscale
Irish bar called Finnegan's Wake.
