Restaurant News – Wallyhood Edition

Here is a small list of restaurant changes in our hood. I snapped this picture of Bar Charlie in the newly finished Bowman Building. It's not open yet, but it has a Facebook page. The Brooks Building will be getting a new tenant in the retail space that faces N 35th Street. I saw an application for a liquor license from the Heavy Restaurant Group posted outside.

Embraced by cross-fitters as well as the gluten-free crowd, it eschews grains, dairy and processed food: the principle is that our bodies are adapted to eat the way our ancestors ate when they were evolving, so that's what we should eat, too.
