New Things Coming to The EastSide!

I read this on the Tennessean's Blog (written by Angela Patterson) who has answered many of my curious questions. You can read her article HERE or see below:

Hey all!

Just thought I’d write quickly about some of the new food places I know are coming to the East side. Here’s the rundown:

Most of you already know about Calypso Cafe coming to the hood, in the building where Payless Shoe Source was once housed. Don’t know an opening date, but the renovation of that space is coming along.

You may also know about Mad Donna’s on Woodland. From what I understand, they had some contractor issues, but I’ve noticed driving by there that people are working on the place daily. Hopefully, they’ll be having their grand opening sooner than later.

I’ve seen some requests on the listserv to know more about Veggie Cafe at the corner of Porter and Riverside, and after talking to the restaurant owner and the building owner, it’s only weeks away at most. They’re doing small stuff to finish up.

Down the road a bit at Riverside Village, construction has started on Mitchell’s Deli, which will be in the space Circle Back Music once had. Owner David Mitchell, who worked at both Whole Foods and Wild Oats Markets, will feature deli style sandwicjhes and prepared foods. He expects to open in April.

Next to Mitchell’s will be another restaurant. One of the owners of this property wasn’t able to tell me much at this point, but he did say that it’s someone who’s already on the East side, and it’s gonna be good….exciting.

On Eastland, across from Rosepepper, March Egerton is putting up a new mixed use development. On the ground floor, a coffeehouse will go in, as well as a fresh juice/smoothie stop. He’s hoping to secure a restaurant as the anchor tenant for that phase of the development, so we’ll see.

I guess that’s about it at the moment. I’ll keep you posted.

Do You Have a Bumper Sticker?

My husband and I were quick to notice these snarky little bumper stickers on various cars around town and loved them so I set out on a mission to acquire one! From what I hear, 2 girls designed them and sell them to local stores. The Hip Zipper & Alegria both carry them. Alegria has quite a selection and there are MANY different phrases. These are my favorites. I am pretty sure you cant be an official East Sider without one!
