'Hood's Incoming Eats

Rumors are flying on a nearly daily basis now as to what the first new restaurants to pop up in Near Southeast/Ballpark will be. So far, the condos have it in spades over the apartment buildings. Capitol Hill Tower and Velocity condos are both poised to announce retaurants deals for their respective ground floor spaces. Other new-construction apartment buildings in the neighborhood are lagging behind, or are just further back in the construction process.

In any case, Italian and American-style (think Great American Restaurant) are the rumored cuisine of the future eat spots. Which will get an official announcement first? Well, boxes have been sighted on the first floor retail space of Capitol Hill Tower, but only time will tell.
