A new restaurant called Love Handle will soon open in the Clocktower Building, 2215 E. North Ave. Owned by Ally and Chris Benedyk, it’s an eclectic cafe that will offer small plates, salads, sandwiches and in-house-made ice cream.

Grace & Shelly’s – a gourmet cupcake and ice cream eatery – will open this summer at 308 E. Silver Spring (the Fox Bay building). There are five other locations in Florida.

Dan Fitzgibbons, former owner of Fitzgibbon’s Pub on Water Street, received committee approval Tuesday for a proposed tavern called "The Curve," 1634 N. Water St.  It's the former site of O'Brady's bar.  

Stay tuned for more information about these new businesses when it becomes available.
