City Plaza Piecing Together
Most of you probably heard the news yesterday related to City Plaza. For those that did not, it was announced that Jimmy John’s has signed a lease for one of the spaces. From what I know, the Hillsborough St. and Page Rd. locations do pretty well. I think they will honestly kill it during lunch hours and pretty much own it on a nice weather day. If you haven’t been, Jimmy John’s serves pretty good sandwiches and makes them relatively fast so convenience is high. I believe the one near NC State stays open late too so we’ll see if this one does the same when it opens later this year.
Looking to the future of City Plaza, there are still other spaces to fill. The WRAL article claims that there are six total spaces available for restaurants. If all six become food places, then let’s hope there is a nice mix so that all meal hours are properly covered; from breakfast to late-night. It would be a shame for out of town visitors walking out of the nearby hotels to see an inactive “city center”.
Anyway, I’m actually really looking forward to City Plaza. Anyone’s first visit to Fayetteville St. can tell that there is some significance there and this plaza should make it feel like the center of all the activity on the street.
Remedy Diner Opening Soon
The owners of Remedy Diner have e-mailed me and say that they are planning to open very soon. I’d like to plug their website so go to it and look over the menu. I’d also like to invite them to share more information with us here in the comments. So owners…..when’s the big date? Got any pictures? We won’t bite, we promise.
BeerCon: Tobacco Road Sports Café
Tobacco Road Sports Café is the newest Glenwood South restaurant that has set up shop in the 222 Glenwood building. This is a great place to plan an outing around watching sports. The main room is very open and there are TV’s at every angle. They also have a private room which you can reserve for your party with its own huge plasma TV. Behind the bar, there are plenty of taps and beers for you to choose from as well as your local favorites.
Their website suggests that they are not a sports bar. In reality, Tobacco Road is more of a restaurant with a sports theme. The mobile broadcast booth is used by 99.9 The Fan on occasion and I think could potentially bring some buzz to downtown if used to interview sports celebrities.
