Cross Street Market Approved for New Liquor License, First Renovated to Open in October

Last week Cross Street Market was approved for a new liquor license by the Baltimore City Board of Liquor License Commissioners (BLLC). There was previously a moratorium on new liquor licenses in the Federal Hill Business District where there are currently 40 licenses. Given this, a state bill in the Maryland General Assembly was created last year so that the market’s new operator, Caves Valley Partners (CVP), could obtain the license for its redevelopment of the market.

The liquor license does not cover the portion of the market along Charles St. where Nick’s Inner Harbor Seafood, which has its own 7-day beer and wine license, is currently located. CVP and Nick’s are currently in a lease dispute according to the Baltimore Business Journal.

The new license has an annual fee of $6,500 unless CVP buys and extinguishes an existing Federal Hill license, which would then drop the fee to $2,500/year. Arsh Mirmiran of CVP told SouthBMore.com that they are not actively pursuing this option. With the license, 65% of the sales from the remainder of the market must be from items other than alcoholic beverages and only 20% of the leasable sq. ft. can be used to sell alcohol. Users of this license are not permitted to participate in pub crawls and liquor drinks must be at least $5. Additionally, no stall that serves alcohol can exceed 1,000 sq. ft.

Alcohol can be served at the market from 1130am to 10pm on Monday to Thursday, from 1130am to 1130pm on Friday, from 9am to 1130pm on Saturday, and from 9am to 9pm on Sunday.

CVP is looking to allow approximately nine stalls to sell alcohol. Each stall must seek permission by the BLLC to serve and will be held accountable by the BLLC.

Representatives from Federal Hill Main Street, Federal Hill Business Association, Federal Hill Neighborhood Association, and South Baltimore Neighborhood Association testified in support of the license at the BLLC hearing last Thursday.  It also had the support of City Council President Jack Young and District 11 Councilman Eric Costello.

The license received unanimous approval from the three BLLC commissioners.

A majority of the 31,800 sq. ft., block-long Cross Street Market that stretches from Light St. to Charles St. is currently closed for construction. A section remains open adjacent to Charles St. where vendors Nick’s, Pretzel Twist, Steve’s Lunch, The Sweet Shoppe, Lemontopia, and Nunnally Bros. Choice Meats continue to operate.

The market will be reopened in three phases. The first redeveloped section adjacent to the Light St. entrance is expected to open in October. This area will be the home of longtime tenants Steve’s Lunch, which will relocate within the market, and Fenwick Meats, which is currently closed during the renovation. It will also be the home of new tenant Ceremony Coffee and one other business that is yet to be determined.

The second phase is expected to open later this year and will cover the middle section of the market in between the new Light St. section and the Charles St. section.

The Charles St. section will be renovated last and is expected to be completed next year.

Arsh Mirmiran of CVP told SouthBMore.com that leasing has gone “better than expected” and that his leasing team at Cana Development is doing “a really great job.” He said that new tenant announcements would come in the near future.

The exterior of the market is being renovated to give Cross Street Market its “retro” look of  the 1950s. It will have several outdoor seating areas on new sidewalks. The interior will have approximately 30 stalls and six common seating areas.

Since CVP took over Cross Street Market in 2017, there have been many tenant changes. Baltimore’s Best BBQ, Bruce Lee Wings, and Big Jim’s Deli closed after failing to reach a new deal with CVP. Kwon’s Produce closed, but has not ruled out a return to the new Cross Street Market. Cross Street Seafood, Mondawmin Chicken, and Tian’s Teriyaki also decided to close without seeking new leases.

Cross 10 Grocery relocated to 1039 S. Charles St., Cheese Galore & More relocated to 1125 S. Charles St., and The Flower Shop relocated to Carroll-Camden/Pigtown at 1206 Ridgely St.

“Pop-up” tenants that opened and closed include Cookie Dough & Co., Prescription Chicken and Gertie’s Yummy Yogurt Bowls, Smoke, and Sundays. Cookie Dough & Co. relocated to Mount Vernon Marketplace; Prescription Chicken and Gertie’s Yummy Yogurt Bowls relocated to Mount Vernon Marketplace, but is expected to return to Cross Street Market later this year; Smoke closed but is planning a return next year; and Sundays told SouthBMore.com in April that its return will depend on negotiations with Cana.

Baltimore area's most underrated neighborhoods: Lesser-known places to call home

Of the 250 or so Baltimore neighborhoods, just a few are well known – nearly everyone has heard of places like Fells Point and Federal Hill. But there’s a reason to keep an eye on those with a lower profile.

The city and surrounding counties are full of underrated places to call home, where the...

Regi’s American Bistro Business and Property Sold at Auction

Regi’s American Bistro, which closed in April, sold at an auction on Monday for $600,000. The sale included the 3,252 sq. ft. two-building property, the restaurant, and its seven-day beer, wine, and liquor license. The second and third story of the property has been mostly unused.

The Baltimore Business Journal is reporting that Greenspring Realty Partners, the lender for the property and business, was the winning bidder. From the article:

“The property has tremendous value with its liquor license alone,” said Dan Flamholz, principal of Greenspring Realty Partners, who made the sole bid in the foreclosure auction. “We’ll take title now and take it back out to the market.”

Greenspring, which already owns multiple restaurant properties in Federal Hill, could not be reached for comment.

Both Regi’s building and business were put up for sale in January, but neither sold until Monday’s auction.

Regi’s was open since 1978 under three different owners, including Alan Morstein who owned Regi’s for the last 14 years.

Morstein told SouthBMore.com that he was ready to move on to owning something on a smaller scale and that he will be opening Alan’s Deli at Mount Vernon Marketplace in the coming months. Morstein has spent many years in the restaurant industry, previously owning delis in Baltimore and Ocean City and later starting the Talking Turkey franchise that once had more than 28 locations.

Hello Addie Boutique Opening Saturday in Federal Hill

Hello Addie Boutique will host its grand opening this Saturday at 1126 S. Charles St. in Federal Hill. The 1,000 sq. ft. space is the former home of The Bridal Suite.

Hello Addie is owned by Alexandra Dekowski who has dreamed of opening her own fashion boutique since she was little. She opened an online shop a couple years ago and has since participated in local festivals around the region. Hello Addie is named after her grandmother Addie, who worked in the fashion industry in New York City. Dekowski noted that Addie is very excited about the name and her granddaughter’s new store.

Dekowski was eying a space for a brick-and-mortar boutique and decided Federal Hill was the right location after setting up a booth at the Federal Hill Spring Block Party this year.

Dekowski told SouthBMore.com that the younger age demographic of Federal Hill is ideal for her boutique and the she loves the “fun energy” of the area. Dekowski lives in Southern Pennsylvania, but is familiar with Baltimore after previously living in Towson.

Dekowski is also excited about being on the same block as boutiques Punch! and Brightside Boutique. “With more shops, we can be more of a destination,” said Dekowski. She said each shop has a bit different of a target audience and that she will make sure to sell different brands from the other two stores.

“LA Fashion” is how Dekowski describes the clothing Hello Addie will feature. Brands will include Matisse Footwear, Just Black Denim, Pistola Denim, and 4SI3NNA. Dekowski is also beginning the process of starting her own clothing line, which she will eventually sell at the store. Dekowski is additionally hoping to add swimwear to the store next year.

Dekowski said the items at Hello Addie will be mostly casual, but it will also sell dresses appropriate for wedding guests.

Along with retail shopping, Hello Addie will also host personal style appointments that will include champagne.

Dekowski is performing a cosmetic renovation of the space and will be adding a new sign out front.

Hello Addie has three employees.

Hello Addie’s grand opening will be this Saturday from 12pm to 9pm. It will feature free drinks from The Charles, DJ For the Record, giveaways, and “major sales.”

Regular hours will start next week. Hello Addie will be open Monday to Thursday from 12pm to 8pm, Friday from 11am to 9pm, Saturday from 10am to 9pm, and Sunday from 10am to 7pm.

“I am so excited. It’s been a long time coming,” said Dekowski. “I can’t wait to meet people in the area and build a relationship with our clients.”

Poké Bowl Opening Locations in Federal Hill and Downtown

Poké Bowl, which opened its first location in Cockeysville about a year and a half ago, is now opening restaurants in both Federal Hill and Downtown. This will be the fourth and fifth location for the fast-growing business which also has restaurants in Lutherville and Bel Air.

Poké Bowl will open in Federal Hill at 1040 Light St. which was the longtime home of Subway before it closed in May. Owner Yun Jiang told SouthBMore.com that renovations are underway on the 1,950 sq. ft. space, but he doesn’t yet have an opening date. He said he was drawn to Federal Hill because of the amount of young people in the area who would be drawn to a food like poké.

The Downtown location will be at 10 N. Calvert St. at the recently redeveloped The Equitable Building. This location is also currently under construction. Jiang expects more of a lunch rush at this location, so the menu will be a bit more limited so he can get customers in and out quicker.

Poké is a Hawaiian dish that became popular with fishermen on the Pacific islands. It features rice; seafood, including raw tuna and salmon; and toppings such as veggies, spices, and sauces. Jiang was once a resident of Hawaii where he developed a love for poké.

Customers at Poké Bowl will be able to walk down the ordering line picking their own ingredients for their bowl.

Customers will choose brown or sushi rice, mixed greens, or a combo of rice and greens for the base of their bowl. They next will pick a protein with the choices including ahi tuna, Yellow Tail, spicy tuna, salmon, BBQ eel, cooked shrimp, shrimp tempura, chicken tempura, fried tofu, and imitation crab. Customers will then choose from more than 20 different toppings, including vegetables and fruits, and finish by choosing from multiple sauces.

The Federal Hill location will also offer Poké Bowl’s sushi burritos. The Cockeysville location includes eight different burrito combos that include the same proteins and toppings as the bowls, but are wrapped tightly in rice and seaweed. The Downtown location will stick to bowls as burritos take a bit longer to prepare.

Poke Bowl serves Hawaiian juices and Japanese green tea along with sodas and bottled waters.

Verizon Store Taking Over the Former American Apparel Space in Federal Hill

The former 2,893 sq. ft. home of American Apparel at 1125 Light St. in Federal Hill will soon become The Wireless Center, which is a Verizon Premium Retailer. All American Apparel locations closed in 2017 after the company was acquired in a bankruptcy sale. The Wireless Center is an Ohio-based company.

The Wireless Center will have an approximately 1,100 sq. ft. showroom with the remaining space dedicated to offices and back-of-the-house operations. Renovations are currently underway to and include new walls and flooring.

An exact opening date has not yet been announced for The Wireless Center.

“Federal Hill is a dynamic neighborhood that fits the demographics of The Wireless Center, and we’re excited we could bring a well-known brand to Federal Hill’s Main Street,” said CJ Koluch of MacKenzie Retail, LLC which represented the landlord along with Henry Deford. “At MacKenzie, our focus is on adding real, long-term value to the spaces and neighborhoods we represent. We live here, we work here, and we’re committed to our communities.”

The Wireless Center was represented by Laura Williams of MacKenzie Retail, LLC.
