Pulp expanding into Avondale

[fieldafm]

San Marco's popular Pulp will be going into the Shoppes of Avondale.  The store will be next to the Garden Shop, across from Monty's. 

B/w Biscottis, Florida Creamery, Peterbrooke's and now Pulp... you're sweet tooth should be more than satisfied

Pulp rocks! I suggested they look at Springfield...I don't know what happened. Can we be next?

[Captain Zissou]

With Pulp and Mojo's coming to Avondale, the area will be a dining hub for that whole side of town.  It's like the dining component of the SJTC without the clear cutting, traffic jams, scorching heat, and parking lots.

I think the Avondale strip could use another night spot.  Hopefully Mojo's will stay open late to help meet this need.  Other than Monty's (which is awful) and Casbah on the west end of the strip, there isn't much to offer.  I haven't really checked out Brick late night and Bluefish, so they may have a better crowd than I'm aware of.  I think something like Rogue or the Grotto would do well here.

You should check out Elevated Avondale then.  I personally like Thur nights... old school hip hop and ladies night.

After leaving a Theater Jax performance the other night we went by the San Marco Pulp. Not only did the 2 sharp kids know what was in what ingredient wise, the one freaked when he realized the green bio friendly spoons were made of corn starch. He disappeared down the street for a couple of seconds and returned with a few plastic spoons from somewhere preventing 3 allergic reactions. Way to go Pulp! We'll be back soon

I love Pulp....great coffee, good fresh juice, delicious frozen yogurt, ingenious Acai bowls and breakfasts...

That being said, when is someone going to tell them ALL THEIR SMOOTHIES TASTE THE SAME!!!!! And if they don't taste the same, they taste bland! I'm all for smoothies without syrups, packets, and added sugars, but common guys, these just aren't that good.

[iluvolives]

They serve coffee? Are they open early?

[ben says]

They're open early...how early--not too sure. Sorry about that. I think their hours may be online though??

Their coffee is excellent. Takes awhile to brew though, as it's one-cup-at-a-time.

[copperfiend]

I have never been to Pulp but I did see the 48 Hour Film Project movie they filmed there.

Other than Monty's (which is awful)

For 2 million you can buy Monty's, the building is for sale, the contents are then negotiable. Any takers??

Brick gets a pretty good bar crowd going Fri/Sat nights, and they have live music. It can be fun.

Is Eclipse still around? Anybody been lately?

[fieldafm]

Rumor is, Montys may have a new restaurant tenant with seating for around 100 next year.

Eclipse is still open.  I live right up the street from it.  It gets some decent crowds on old wave nights.

Also, Yoga Berry is about to open up in the old Robert Burns Florist space.
