A girlfriend and I took a jaunt to Cyclo for lunch today to catch up with Justina Duong, who’s been flirting with the idea of opening a second location of her popular Vietnamese restaurant in Central Phoenix.
Well, I think she finally found her spot. It’ll be in the same plaza as Movies On Central, just south of Camelback.
The only catch right now is putting in a gas line — a five-figure expenditure that will seriously hit her in her designer pocketbook. Ouch!
I’d also heard that the folks behind La Grande Orange have been considering a space in the same strip, although that would invite the same issue that has plagued them at their 40th Street and Campbell location: parking! We’ll see what happens there.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And on the high-style front, the guys from Haus will also be opening a new location at that spot.
It all bodes well for Phoenix — grab some pho for lunch, with some of Justina’s awesome black sticky rice and mango for dessert, shop for Jonathan Adler stuff at Haus, find a DVD at Movies on Central, and then take home a bottle of wine from LGO.
Strip mall synergy — we need more of that!
