Title: Subway sandwich shop on Lomax is gone
Post by: urbanlibertarian on March 10, 2010, 09:54:27 PM
Sign in the window reads Space for Rent.  Any rumors as to what might go here?

No, but I heard the Subway moved over near Zoe's.

Five Points Cleaners, which was two suites over from Subway, also has closed recently. There are really quite a few vacant suites in the Five Points area right now.

If anyone knows anyone who wants to open a restaurant - the space is pretty much ready to go.  Subway left almost everything - the food prep area, two walk-in coolers, greasetrap, etc. 

It could use a range and a hood (obviously Subway didn't need that) and someone to change out the floor tile.

The rate seems reasonable as well...

I agree, either a pho place or an Indian restaurant.  I think an Indian place would do quite well, IMHO. Once the Thai place opens at the old Preservation Taphouse the 'hood will have just about everything I could want and I won't have to leave my bubble and risk the wilds of the 'burbs!

I am SO looking forward to the new Thai spot. So close to my house. If they do a great green curry, I will walk there on my hands if need be.

Re. the Subway spot, how about Ethiopian?? I miss that from my days in D.C. Spicy, diverse, and totally eaten with your fingers.

Isn't the "Tea House" (Cozy Tea) sort of a pseudo Indian place?  I seem to remember them having certain dinner nights with an Indian theme/menu.....

Ahhh... a spicy, golden curry chicken with veggies and rice, naan bread, papadum and mango chutney...... does a place like this that could make that exist now in Riverside? If not it would be a welcome addition!!!  ;D

The Cozy Tea House is truly unique - British High Tea by way of India. 

They do a "family-style" Indian dinner once a month - it's booked up 2 or 3 months in advance.  It's a pretty neat thing.  All you can eat, not greasy at all, vegetarian friendly, and pretty reasonable.

I would dominate a pho place in 5 points.

I have indeed conquered the Pho Challenge  :)
