A new outdoor food courtyard called “Eat the Hub” is moving to South University Avenue, allowing outdoor sales and service of food where the old Pinball Pete’s burned down four years ago.
The South University Area Association plans to promote the new food carts through the holiday season and into the New Year, encouraging the entire community to come visit the South University retail and restaurant scene.
Site preparations are ongoing with a goal of having the food carts open for business on South University before Thanksgiving.

The carts committed so far include The Beet Box, Cheese Dream and Hut-K Chaats, all of which have operated as food carts at Mark’s Carts on Washington Street. A new cart from Sottini’s Sub Shop on Fourth Avenue will also be at the courtyard. An old school bus parked on the property is expected to function as a kitchen.
The City Council’s approval of the food carts is subject to necessary approvals from the county’s health department.
Even after the Eat the Street promotional event ends in early January, Perlman said Eat the Hub will stay open into April. The idea is that they’ll be there and open for business during the “off season” when Mark’s Carts is closed.
