EYA East lands Busboys & Poets Restaurant and Bookstore
EYA developers (the new developments along Rt 1 in Hyattsville AND Riverdale Park) announced an agreement with Busboys & Poets to be the "anchor restaurant" in EYA East. This is EYA Phase II, which lies partially in our town, and which will help build and abut on the Hyattsville portion of the Trolley Line Hiker-Biker Trail. I've never been to Busboys & Poets, though we've often talked about going -- they've got quite a bit of press in the Post and elsewhere. But it seems like an excellent fit with the concept of a Route 1 "Arts Community" while also fulfilling some of the need for more local choices in places to eat and places to hang out.
Has anyone been to Busboys & Poets downtown? I'd love to hear what you think of it.
They've got a nice website, with menus, etc.
