New Carytown and Devil’s Triangle developments

Richmond Business and Commercial News:

Carytown Sushi is going in where Indochine was previously: 2923 West Cary Street. It will be the only sushi bar in Carytown that I am aware of.

The Ritz, at the corner of Park Avenue and North Sheppard Street, is finally undergoing renovation for a new tenant. It will be an upscale Italian restaurant, but I’m not sure of other details, including the name.

This is an update to our earlier post.

PS. Is it ok to still call it the Devil’s Triangle?

  1. I still remember it as the Devil’s Triangle and refer to it as such even though it’s changed ever so in the last decade.

    Then again it took me forever not to be creeped out by Cafe Diem because of it’s previous incarnation as Cafe 21.

  2. When you can go to that 7-11 and not be hit on and asked for money simultaneously, then you can call it something else. Until then, Devil’s Triangle it shall remain.

  3. 1. that 7-11 is no big deal, but why not go to momo’s instead?

    2. not interested in an up$cale Italian restaurant at all. what a shame. i’m not sure, but i might prefer an empty building with a cool old sign.

  5. As I understand it, it has a history of murders and rapes and the like. Shady dealings. Police busts. Not a good pocket of town, even though it’s surrounded by pretty nice areas. Also, it’s a triangle.

  6. It is actually not a bad area at all. I feel perfectly safe walking around there at night. The Black Hand Cafe is right there and those bike kids are like neighborhood watch. I don’t think it should be called the Devil’s Triangle… I think it should be called… uh… Banditos Plaza.

  7. I never lived in the city. My wife however lived in the deadly triangle her life. She fondly speaks of the old crowd. Carol, who formerly owed the Cafe 21 was a close friend of hers. She says many have gone from the area. She really misses Moe who owned the former Felix.
    Some great things come for the souls that once lived there. I bet many would be shocked to know my wife became a Writer. Her former name was Debra Richardson Faulconer. Now for those who don’t believe, check it out. Look on the web for Debra Faulconer Baker. Her work will blow your mind. Her family lived generations in the said triangle area.
