Hot Eats, Cool Treats
More eateries opening around Intown as summer ends
By Collin Kelley
J ust a few months ago — in the May issue to be exact — we featured an extensive
roundup of all the new restaurants opening in the city. Three months later, we’re back
with yet another list that is sure to sate any appetite, whether it’s for Italian food,
tapas, a burger or dessert. Please note that the restaurants in the list were expected to
be open by INtown’s press time or during the month of August (unless otherwise noted).
Be sure to check each restaurant’s website for details, since opening dates can change.
