    Grandview’s new food hall The Little Grand has officially announced some of its vendors. Here’s a taste of what to expect.

    Taesty’s — Expect southern-style meals from the Circleville-based food truck like fried chicken wings, baked beans, and mac and cheese.

    Frascati Market — This new restaurant will be a grab-and-go Italian eatery, with menu items like homemade Italian soups, antipasto, and pastas with authentic sauces.

    Lan Viet — The family-owned restaurant currently operates in the North Market Downtown and Bridge Park and features Northern Vietnamese-style dishes.

    Common Rice — Coming from the same owner as Lan Viet, this brand-new concept will serve Vietnamese build-your-own rice bowls.

    The remaining vendors will be announced throughout early May. There will be 12 total food stalls as well as a 3,500-sqft restaurant in the new hall.

    A lightweight spring jacket that won’t overheat you during transitional spring months. We’re loving every floral pattern of this women’s quilted jacket and the cut of this men’s cotton bomber jacket.
