I noticed that the building next door to Hopdoddy - at the corner of Times and Morningside - is for lease again. I believe it used to be a co-working/incubator space.
Given all of the activity around it, it would seem to be a prime candidate for another restaurant/patio. That 2 block stretch all the way to Coppa has to be one better outdoor dining "districts" in all of Houston.
Anyone heard any news?
