There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:
Today at 11 a.m. Land-Grant Brewing opens its new bar, Extension. The stand-alone space is next to the Gravity Experience Park, across the alley from Land-Grant’s main taproom and beer garden. It serves experimental beers, wine, and cocktails. See more in Land-Grant Brewing Opens The Extension Bar!
Also today, Lucky’s Market opens its new Victorian Village store at 747 Neil Ave. It’s part of the rebuilt Thurber Village plaza, former site of a Giant Eagle (and a Big Bear, if you remember that far back). In addition to Lucky’s, the plaza includes a new apartment building and a reconstructed CVS on the corner.
The Toro Meat Market also opened a new store at 704 Parsons Ave. this week! This makes for three locations for the family-owned Mexican market. Two years ago Toro took over the former Carfagna’s space at 1405 E. Dublin Granville Rd. when Carfagna’s moved to Polaris.
I’m excited to check out this place! The Latin-inspired Cocinamos Bakery + Bistro opened recently at 3 W. Winter St. in downtown Delaware, serving coffee, baked goods, and lunch.
Budd Dairy Food Hall announced that Zaki Mediterranean Grill would become a permanent stall in June, taking over the former Cousins Maine Lobster space. Zaki was previously part of Budd Dairy’s Hatch incubator program.
Mouton cocktail bar announced this week that its official last day in business will be June 1. Back in April Mouton announced that its landlord hadn’t renewed its lease, as a new business would take over Mouton’s storefront and the one next door.
Agape Mediterranean announced that it will add a fifth location this fall at Grandview Yard.
The Pearl Market opened for the season this week! This year you’ll find it every Tuesday at Pearl and Gay streets from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and every Thursday at the Columbus Commons from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., now through October. Also kicking off this week is the Food Truck Food Court every Thursday at the Commons and Breakfast at the Commons Wednesday mornings from 7:30-10:30 a.m.
