Add Ben & Jerry’s to the growing list of new downtown food and beverage options. The famed ice cream scoop shop’s new local spot, located in the Hanna Building (1422 Euclid Ave.), officially opened its doors on Friday, August 29.

Ben & Jerry’s joins other recent Playhouse Square additions such as Something Good Social Kitchen, The Friars’ Table, Gochujang, The Brasserie and The Bulkley Bar. Come spring, Encore at The Lumen will offer cocktails in an intimate, upscale setting.

Downtown also welcomed this summer Shah’s Halal, a decades-old kebab concept, which opened in July on Ontario, and Ebreeq Coffee, a contemporary Yemeni café, which opened on Euclid Avenue the same month.

Last month, we also learned that the former Taco Bell Cantina space off Public Square will soon see new life. That will come in the form of a new Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill location, which is expected to open in March.
