TRANSCRIPT: Millennials love Baldwin Park, Bar Louie is coming to Winter Park, this and more on The Daily City

We told you awhile back that the folks behind Domu in East End Market were opening a restaurant in Mills50 called Tori Tori. Well, the City of Orlando is giving the restaurant $50,000 through its Small Business Facade, Site Improvement, and Adaptive Reuse Program to go towards improvements including adding a front porch dining area facing Mills. Domu is a busy company. Along with keeping Domu running and opening Tori Tori, they’re also working on opening a quick serve restaurant Domu Chibi Ramen in the Waterford Lakes Town Center.

Winter Park Village is getting a new restaurant tenant inside inside the old Mitchell’s seafood space: Bar Louie. The expected opening time frame is early 2019.

Two of the top five zip codes millenials are moving to in Florida are located right here in Orlando according to RentCafe.com. One is 32821 which includes I-Drive, Millenia, and the theme park area. The other one is 32814 which is Baldwin Park. The site used data from the US Census Bureau to create this list.

Wallet Hub says that according to a study, Orlando ranked second on a list of 182 cities for “Most Fun City” in America. Number one was las vegas.

An almost 100 year old bodega called Handy Pantry is closing its doors for good this year. It’s located in the Lake Eola Heights district at 522 E. Amelia Street. Since the building is located within a historic district, it’s protected from demolition.

Rob and Joe Nunzaita put out a survey asking folks what the two developers should do with the downtown building they just purchased on Church Street for $3.97 million. How great! Developers asking the public what they want in their city! Rob and Joe are the folks who brought a beautiful historic building at the corner of Church and Orange and… put a walgreens inside. The building they want your feedback on  is on Church Street and was most recently Ferg’s Depot. The tenant options on this survey found at makeorlandogreat.com (PAUSE) include extremely ambitious brands like Apple, Amazon, Cheesecake Factory, Chik Fil A, Chipotle. There is one non-branded option on the survey called “Chelsea Market Concept.” Well you know that’s what The Daily City would vote for!

The Daily City would like to thank the hundreds, and hundreds and hundreds of people who came out to the inaugural Orlando Flea. We put together this indoor makers marker with 38 vendors, a dessert court, dranks and music on September 16th in downtown Orlando. This event is about bringing attention to local companies and communicating to visitors that the city we live in is creative. Local shoppers got introduced to brands they’d never heard of as well as meet the owners of the products they already know and love. Vendors sold out of t shirts and jewelyy, the food vendors sold out of gelato and cookies, and attendees gave us some very helpful feedback on what The Daily City can do to make the next Orlando Flea even better. Based on that feedback, we will be taking over multiple venues, expnding the space for guests to walk and view merchandise and hang out, as well as provide more space to house more vendors. The Daily City would like to thank our fans and newly made friends for making Orlando Flea the huge success that it was. Please follow orlando flea on instagram at simply… orlando flea.
