    New all-day restaurant grabs corner of renovated downtown Dallas tower

    As part of its big renovation, the Trammell Crow Center at 2001 Ross Ave. in downtown Dallas is adding a new restaurant that will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

     

    Called Sloane's Corner, it's from the NL Group, whose portfolio of restaurants includes Jalisco Norte and Front Room Tavern at the Hotel Lumen.

     

    Sloane's will be a 3,100-square-foot restaurant with bar that seats 80 but that also caters to the tenants in the building. It's scheduled to open in fall 2019.

     

    NL Group owner Tim McEneny says it's similar in scope and size to Front Room Tavern, in that it'll be open seven days a week, three meals a day, just like a hotel restaurant, plus a weekend brunch.

     

    "This is going to be a cool restaurant," he says.

     

    Located in the Arts District, the Trammell Crow Center is finishing up a $140 million renovation that included the addition of a 9,000-square-foot fitness center, a 9,000-square-foot conference center, updates to the garage and retail space, and exterior work on the retail, office, and plaza areas.

     

    The building is located at the corner of Ross Avenue and Olive Street, which is where the downtown trolley runs.

     

    The biggest update has been the news of a Royal Blue Grocery opening there — the second Royal Blue to open inside the Central Business District. Also coming to Trammell Crow: Roti's Modern Mediterranean, a Southpaw's Grill, and a new location of Common Desk, which is opening a two-story coworking space and private whiskey lounge.

     

    McEneny says he's wrapping up construction and is in the process of hiring a chef. He doesn't have details yet on the menu other than the cuisine and overall profile.

     

    "It's named after my six-year-old daughter," he says. "It'll be an Amerian brasserie and bistro with a coffee shop and barista, and a grab-and-go section."

     

    "Royal Blue will be on one corner, and we're on the other corner," he says. "It's a good spot because, with residents and offices, the building has a built-in audience that needs catering and food on-site."

    Smoothie News

    Healthy smoothie chain from the Northeast makes Dallas-area debut

    A smoothie chain from the Northeast has landed in Dallas-Fort Worth: Called Fresh Monkee, it's a chain from Connecticut that made its DFW debut in Richardson at 3501 Custer Pkwy. #119, in the Custer Creek shopping center, where it opened July 1.

    Fresh Monkee was founded by entrepreneur Judy Flynn in Wethersfield, Connecticut in 2014. It has since expanded to 20 locations across 15 states. Four locations are planned for Texas, including Austin and Houston. The Richardson location is from franchisees Anam and Omer Nawab.

    In a release, Flynn notes that many smoothie places rely on sugary fruit blends and "strange" powders.

    "Most juice bars strip away the fiber from fruits and veggies, which is essential for a healthy gut and feeling satisfied," Flynn says in a press release. "I was convinced we could do better."

    Their menu includes 30 varieties: fruit smoothies, green smoothies, chocolate smoothies, and coffee smoothies, with seasonal flavors such as the summer-ready watermelon strawberry limeade shake.

    Notable options include:

       
    • Chunkee Monkee — milk, chocolate or vanilla protein powder, banana, and peanut butter
    • Filthy Monkee — milk, chocolate protein powder, brownie protein bar, and peanut butter
    • Coffee Buzz — milk, a splash of cream, chocolate protein powder, coffee cubes, vanilla extract, and Stevia
    • Orange Cream — milk, orange juice, vanilla protein, and a whole orange
    • Maui Colada — coconut milk, orange juice, vanilla protein, unsweetened coconut shreds, pineapple, and mango
    They also carry a protein ball snack with peanut butter, oat flour, chocolate whey protein, and maple syrup, rolled in coconut oil and chocolate chips.

    Each location has indoor seating, including couches and tables, but they're mainly a to-go concept.

    Another pair of franchisees, Clarence Gadapati and Karuna Annavajjala, are opening a location in Arlington, at 5904 S. Cooper St. #120, in the Sublett Corners center, where it will open in August.
