IntheKnowHouston Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 5101 Almeda was home to Alfreda's Soul Food restaurant for several decades. However, the restaurant moved recently. It's now located at 4530 Griggs Rd. I don't know what's moving into the building. I also don't know what changes may be in store. There is a plan review pending for renovations. The plan review was submitted by VCS Architects. According to the permit, Wall Street Almeda, LLC is the listed occupant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall Street Almeda, LLC is likely the new tenant leasing the space. It's why I classified them as the possible occupant and not the owner of the property.

HNathoo Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I heard rumors that a breakfast concept was going in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turkey Leg Hut had plans to open a breakfast and brunch restaurant in the vicinity. I'm guessing the Breakfast Hut is on the back burner or scrapped altogether. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 The restaurant opening soon at 5101 Almeda St is Wall Street Almeda. The building was previously home to Alfreda's Soul Food. I'm not sure of Wall Street Almeda's concept. Their Instagram is vague on details. I think this restaurant is from the same person who initially opened Par'lay / Parlay at 1901 Taft St. http://wallstreetalmeda.com https://www.instagram.com/wallstreetalmeda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall Street Almeda is located at 5101 Almeda St. The building was last occupied by Alfreda's Soul Food. According to Wall Street Almeda's social, the restaurant will serve Southern fare.

X.R. Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Interesting that they immediately had another lease lined up for location, while other places on the street are a little slower to fill up. Good for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them. I don't know whether or not the landlord had a new tenant in place prior to Alfreda's relocation. Still, I think with the property being on the corner of Southmore and Almeda, this wasn't going to sit vacant for long. Bar 5105 is next door and the lounge Faces (or whatever it's called now) is across the street. Not to mention, Turkey Leg Hut a few blocks down. It was inevitable the building would have a new leasee that quickly. Edited June 6, 2023 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naming the restaurant Wall Street Almeda pays homage to the area and its nickname. Aaahhh, I thought there must be some back story. Nevertheless, I think it would be good idea to add "southern cooking" to their signage. Hmmmm.... I just googled "Houston Black Wall Street" and the Chronicle tells us: "Sunnyside is a historically Black neighborhood in south Houston, set up for Black people in 1912 by a white councilman as the other segregated neighborhoods in the city center grew crowded. The city of Houston didn’t annex it until 1956. In the 1960s, Sunnyside had so many Black-owned businesses that residents called a stretch of Cullen Boulevard “Black Wall Street.” By the end of the 1980s, most of the businesses had shuttered.https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Sunnyside-fights-against-covid-inequality-houston-15571653.php Elsewhere, I found this: "However, one of the older yet ironically lesser-known Black Wall Street neighborhoods is Freedmen’s Town in Houston, Texas." https://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/texas/houston-and-galveston/places/houston/experiences/news/houston-has-more-black-history-than-you-may-think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
