Now, a Boulted second location / expansion presser would truly be a release valve…!
NHID…perhaps…? 
Update. I don’t think this is privileged info so I’ll share. The Darby was sold to the owners of city market sushi and they’re going to open a noodle shop of some variety

Oh sweet. That’s a huge upgrade (at least for me).

Wasn’t this space where that Kaiju Bowl was? I liked that place. Anyway, that all sounds great. I prefer CM Sushi over any other place downtown.

It was Kaiju nearly 6 years ago woah. It was pretty decent.
I think what we really are missing is a decent Berlin/German-Turkish kebab shop and some halal carts. Shish-kebab on Fayetteville uses pita bread and closes early.

Same boat as @oakcityyimby. The Davie and Woody’s are good enough for me in that area. If Oak City Meatball’s space can fill in with a good tenant, that little pocket is going to be nice. Coffee, gelato, a bar, and a couple of nice restaurants.

Not sure if anyone else has walked by here, but they’re moving at lightning pace. Every day I walk by I see more and more work having been done. Considering that The Darby was already a restaurant that sold alcohol, does that mean there wouldn’t be as much need for additional compliance requirements? If not, I could see them being open by summer at the pace that they’re moving.
Alcohol licenses are not inheritable in North Carolina. Anytime there’s a change in ownership or occupancy, a new license needs to be applied for, and that process can take months.

The chopped cheese was good, but the other sandwiches were pretty meh, so I’m excited about this!
It’s not even a bodega lmao. I stopped in (to meet up with someone, not to buy anything thank god) recently and it was essentially completely devoid of convenience items. There were fridges with beer and wine and some NA drinks and … that was it. Walls were barren. Seemed like wasted space tbh.

The plan to transition the space to 100% restaurant has been in the works for months so they simply stopped restocking and have been working through their inventory.
For my wife and I, this is a bummer bc at one point in time it was a legitimate bodega within walking distance for all your weekend needs.
