Never satisfied with the status quo, restaurateur Todd Henson (recently featured in Southern Living magazine) is expanding the offerings at 219 (Conti Street). The Noodle Nook now features fast, fresh pasta dishes on the Market at 219 side of the restaurant.
One of downtown's most engaging gift shops will be moving to its permanent location next to Bienville Square early next month. Inside Up has spent the last several months in temporary space at 80 St. Michael Street while the new location at 7 N. Conception Street was being renovated. And since no one moves without having a sale, you'll be able to take advantage of bargains on existing merchandise. Be sure to stop by the St. Michael Street location before the end of the month and ask for a free glass of lemonade while you shop!
Speaking of great shopping, the gift shop at the Renaissance Riverview Hotel is now the exclusive downtown outlet for the hottest footwear trend...Switch Flops! The affordable, cleverly designed shoe has interchangeable bands to coordinate with everything in your closet. The shop also carries Mobile memorabilia...great gifts for anyone living in Mobile, or those who just wish they were.
The popular Royal Street eatery, Royal Scam, has just completed a kitchen renovation to accommodate a new menu. In the next week or so, look for items like a 12 oz. bone-in pork chop with an apple bordelaise sauce or a petite fillet. Owner David Rasp made sure the renovation included a fryer so you can now order House Fries with lunch. And we can't wait to try the burger that comes with a caution: This is not your father's Hero Burger!
One of the things we love about downtown is the ingenuity of its entrepreneurs. The struggling Unity Print Collective at 211 Dauphin Street is undergoing a dramatic makeover that will transform it into the Hotdog Gallery. Yes, hot dogs and art! The new gallery will include pop art, games and hot dogs, both meat and vegan. Artwork and collectibles will be reviewed for consignment. Look for this delightful combination of art and food to open in the next week or two.
