Can't wait to see what he's bringing to Cary then.

How many are there, anyway? What's the competition?

Asian take-out could be quite a hit with park visitors across the street.
And, later– a hit with all those construction workers building the parking deck and new library!

We don't yet know the concept for this, but I'm concerned that we continue to see higher-end stuff going in downtown without a whole lot of family-friendly places that are kinder to the wallet. Serendipity is fine, and we like Crosstown and Taipei 101, but I'd like to see more casual, cafe type places.

Totally agree. A fast-casual-café-take-out-option-concept would kill it there with all the visitors to the park. Maybe not Asian, per se, but something other than "fine dining" -as I suspect it will be (see below).

This^ According to the N&O article the OP posted, their rent is going to be double Belle's. Since Belle was an upscale farm-to-table café, I then reason the new place is going to be even more "upscale" = fine dining to pay the bills. Of course, could surprise me and they could go with more of a casual "volume sales" café concept. As you, I hope the latter -for the health/vibrancy/viability of DT Cary. Personally, I would love a Zingerman's (Ann Arbor) type deli and think it would do very well in that particular location -maybe even have a drive thru . Car and foot traffic is crazy busy there... in a good way for the right business. We find Serendipity cute but lacking in options and not impressed with their quality. La Farm (DTC location) has some good stuff, and they are still planning on opening their full service café, but not nearly as convenient to the park.

I think a high-end-white-table-cloth-limited-hours-fine-dining establishment is going to be out of place there and will struggle. The park, library and arts center cater to families and active individuals.... so have a restaurant more true to that.

Are that many people going to get take out and go to the park? Seems like a hassle to make an order, pick it up, and all that jazz when I can just go and sit down, relax, have someone wait on me, and go to the park after?
