Is Garnet taking over the old Clover Hill space? If so, glad to see something more casual and affordable there. But how will it “decouple the social from the commercial,” exactly? I read the whole story looking for an explanation of that statement and didn’t find one.

Yes, it is taking over the former Clover Hill space. It’s a good question, and it will be interesting to see how the concept plays out once Garnet opens. So far, it has meant letting neighbors help build the space and keeping them updated through weekly notes in the window. Once it opens, the plan is an affordable lunch menu and an open kitchen where chefs and diners can talk.

What will it take to turn Gristedes into an Eataly - or anything that isn’t Gristedes 😅 I’ll even take a Whole Foods
