Restaurant Proposed for Vespucci's Space on Danforth

Keith Hickman has the current home of Vespucci's market under contract with plans to convert it into a restaurant, pending a zoning variance request, according to Portland Food Map. Hickman's plans submitted to Portland's Zoning Board of Appeals call for a 64-seat restaurant/bar. Hickman tells Eater Maine, "Our new place (yet to be officially named) will be a casual, seasonal restaurant and bar serving regional American fare and handcrafted cocktails. We are still in the early stages of planning, and expect to open in early spring next year."
