1) Will Tom's restaurant on 23rd street be open?
2) Will Tom's restaurant, which is on 23rd street, be open?
Let's say that we know who Tom is and he has only one restaurant and it is on the 23rd street. Is #1 acceptable?
Could it be used instead of #2?
Does 'on 23rd street' need to be set off with commas in #1, as it is presenting non-essential information?

3) Will Foodjoint on 10th street be open?
4) Will Foodjoint, which is on 10th street, be open?
Let's say 'Foodjoint' is the name of a restaurant that does not belong to a chain. There is only one restaurant named 'Foodjoint' and 'Foodjoint' is a proper noun. Can #3 be used in this context?
Could it be used instead of #4?
Does 'on 10th street' need to be set off with commas in #3, as it is presenting non-essential information?
