New businesses are sprouting along the St. Mary's Strip despite ongoing construction, joining longstanding restaurants such as Singh's and Midnight Swim.
Driving the news: The new year started with the openings of Vibras and the second home of Curry Boys BBQ on The Strip.
- Vibras, a coffee shop by day and club playing Latino hits at night, opened in January.
- Curry Boys, featuring 2023 James Beard-nominees Andrew Ho, Andrew Samia and Sean Wen, serves a fusion of Texas barbecue with Southeast Asian curry. It moved from its original walk-up spot to a full restaurant across the street last week.
- Kwik-E-Shop, a convenience store, opened last fall.
What's next: Wurst Behavior, located just off the St. Mary's Strip at 358 E. Craig, is set to open in four to six weeks, owner Sean Wen tells Axios.
- Wen, who also owns Curry Boys, says Wurst Behavior will be an Asian-inspired beer garden with brats.
Zoom out: Aside from brick-and-mortar locations, pop ups like Saha Palestinian Cuisine are also making a name on The Strip.
- Moureen Kaki launched her business from an Airstream trailer parked at Little Death on Feb. 11.
- Chad Carey, who owns Little Death as well as Rumble, Midnight Swim and Paper Tiger on The Strip, offers a food residency program for small business owners to set up at the wine shop.
