With Toast, Milk, Breadbar Joan's, A.O.C., Ortolan, The Little Door (plus The Little Door Next Door) and more, West Third Street has always been a nice restaurant row. Now two eateries a poised to open, adding tacos and burgers to the mix, notes Tasha Nita Adams at Mondette, a lifestyle blog about the area.
Over at the former Surya space at 8048 West 3rd Street, signage is going up at Burger Kitchen, which add to the growing stock of burger choices in the city. Just down the street at Sweetzer is the soon-to-open Blanco's Tacos, which looks super bright when passing by at night. Hours will be until midnight on weeknights and 1 a.m. on weekends. Eat up!
