| Federal Realty signs two tenants to fill these corner retail spaces at The Henri |
In the great state of Ohio, Nada offers starters like Mexican Poutine and Mex'Orean Fried Chicken alongside the inevitable housemade guacamole. But that guacamole "outpaces most," according to the restaurant critic of ColumbusAlive.com.
Kreeper Salsa with heat from habaneros and pasilla chiles in the Chicken Tortilla Soup offer some unusual flavors. Of course, tacos take center stage, and are clearly positioned as upscale. Options in Columbus include Fried Avocado and Crispy Pork Belly tacos. They also serve larger plates and a small selection of tapas, including some vegetarian options.

Nada's specialty cocktails in Cincinnati currently include their Nadarita, Chile Mango, and a Brazilian Mule. There is also a "large and exotic selection of blanco, reposado and añejo tequila," the restaurant says. This will be Nada's first East Coast location; their non-Buckeye State locations are in Indianapolis and Nashville. Nada's Pike & Rose location will be 6295 SF, about the size of Owen's Ordinary, for comparison. On paper, it sounds like Nada has a strong chance to maintain the record of top-notch dining options at Pike & Rose.
Meanwhile, Scout and Molly's was founded by Lisa Kornstein Kaufman, whose dream was to open "a place where women would feel comfortable shopping, a place where they didn’t have to worry about what they were wearing when they walked in the store, a place where women could count on a friendly face and an honest opinion." That opinion will come from Scout and Molly's stylists, and their apparel from labels like AG Jeans, Spiritual Gangster, Bernardo, Tees by Tina, Good Hyouman, David Lerner, Olive + Oak, and BLANKNYC.
The chain gets its name from the founder's two Labrador Retrievers, and plans to open 35 new locations in the next 12 months. Scout and Molly's currently has that many nationwide.

"Kreeper Salsa"
Dyer has his very own salsa! LOL
Mexican poutine? Do they use curds from queso fresco?
How come Dyer never writes such long ads, er, articles, for openings in Bethesda?
"Scout and Molly's, a boutique offering in-house stylists and promising a "comfortable" shopping environment for women."
How could shopping be made more comfortable? Do they have you carried in a litter with someone behind you saying "you look great" no matter what?
Remember when Dyer posted one sponsored article, told everyone he always admits to his sponsored work, then he pushes out shit like this and pretends its not sponsored. I am on to you Robert.
6:27: How is a breaking news story about two new businesses at Pike & Rose "sponsored?" I understand your frustration at missing the scoop, but really, you're embarrassing yourself.
@ 6:09 AM - Maybe there is a problem with groping at Pike & Rose, that neither FRIT or Robert Dyer have told us about.
Sign of the times maybe? FRIT used to do a good job of programming and protecting their tenants and businesses. Now they have Lands End coming in with REI already there.
Nada sounds fun. Like Gringos maybe?
6:57 - Lands End? Do you mean LL Bean? While there's some crossover of LL Bean and REI, they're actually more complimentary. REI is much more for the active outdoors person, while LL Bean is more along the lines of the weekend car camper person.
While I understand that conventional brick and mortar merchandise retail is on the downslope, Federal Realty should be careful about adding so many dining establishments to Pike & Rose. I don't think the residences in the development and surrounding residents/employees can support 20+ eateries no matter how great they are.
I will give them credit though, since the tenants so far are unique, with as little overlap as possible. It was sad to see La Madeline close since they were in Mid-Pike Plaza way before it was redeveloped.
North Bethesda news is not Bethesda news. Please stop reporting it as such.
It'll be nice to have something a bit more upscale for when I'm not feeling Chuy's. That said, I'm still very happy we have a Chuy's.
Who the hell names a taco joint Nada?
The opening of restaurants in a town center is hardly "breaking news". You're almost as bad as CNN with misusing "breaking news".
Looking forward to it!
Shut the hell up about North Bethesda. Its Rockville, not North Bethesda.
@ 9:56 AM - Nadie.
Yeah I meant LL Bean, thanks for correcting me. Good to hear they are complimentary. Hope they all do well!
I for one would welcome more fast casual or fast food at Pike and Rose. Don’t always want to spend a lot of money eating lunch st a more upscale place but enjoy walking around there. Hopefully they fill out more soon.
I agree though they need to add more housing and office to create demand for the supply internally within the community otherwise it just becomes a destination shopping center.
