The 14 Square Shopping Plaza added another shop as the highly awaited Clean Eatz Café, a dine-in cafe featuring burgers, wraps, flatbreads, and build-your-own bowls, opened Thursday, Jan. 19.
Along with offering fresh food in-house, the national chain has meal plans. Similar to the popular subscription plans, it offers prepared frozen meals that can be eaten any time at home. Patrons can also grab quick-serve meals, drinks, and snacks. They also cater.
The company says their meals are 600 calories or less, and their portion-control plans boast a balance of fats, carbs, and protein. Social media posts showcase their cauliflower crust pizzas that offer substantially lower calories.
Clean Eatz, 4916 Illinois Road, is near Kirana and Penn Station East Coast Subs behind Target.
Downtown Huntington pub returns
In historic downtown Huntington, Silver Moon Pub is back in business. Actually, it’s the third incarnation of the establishment that’s had the names Silver Moon Café, Silver Moon Saloon, and The Rusty Dog Irish Pub with roots to the 1880s.
The pub, located in the Victorian-era Milligan Building at 32 N. Jefferson St., is part of a district listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The building also houses an art gallery and upscale apartments.
A grant from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs helped fund renovations.
