It's been a big year for the 1400 block of Frankford Avenue. Turn back the clock twelve months, and 1420 Frankford Ave. was home to Bicycle Stable, 1426 Frankford Ave. had a large warehouse that was at one point a cellophane factory, and 1434-42 Frankford Ave. was a big empty lot. The only thing that hasn't changed is the Yachtsman, located at 1444 Frankford Ave. in a funky building with a curvy facade.
Let's move from south to north, shall we? Bicycle Stable closed their doors last fall, and we wondered who would take over their fantastic building which was originally built as a stable for police horses. According to Craig Laban, Cheu Noodle Bar will open a second location here, offering much more seating than their 10th Street location. Yes folks, another restaurant coming to Frankford Avenue! We imagine that the facade will remain intact with the new business taking over.
