Another item from our favorite food guy: Crafty Beer Shop, a new beer retailer, is planning to open in the Five Points neighborhood in Raleigh. They will be located in the spot that Hayes Barton Furniture Co. used to occupy.

Pop-up Ice Cream Parlour, which is open this summer next to Gravy in downtown Raleigh, is planning a second location next to Pie Bird on Person Street. Owners told me this week that the location should be open by next week. It is all part of a bigger plan to open a full-fledged creamery in downtown Raleigh. They are still searching for a location for the creamery, and hope the Person Street shop will be a seasonal shop.
