Riverdale Park, MD (May 5, 2021) - The Station at Riverdale Park, an exciting mixed-use development in Prince George’s County, and renowned developer and operator of food halls and restaurants, Hospitality HQ, today announced their hit food pop-up, Curbside Cookout, will become a monthly summer series following its first installment in April. The partners will kick off the series with a visit from a surprise vendor on May 14-15 from 12-8 pm.

“After a well-received visit from Wise Meats x Alta Calidad, and Ekiben for our first Curbside Cookout, we knew this would be an ongoing concept that the community would continue to enjoy throughout the summer at The Station at Riverdale Park,” said James Cafritz of Calvin Cafritz Enterprises. “Our partners at Hospitality HQ, whom we’ve selected to run the upcoming food hall at The Station, will introduce our community to new vendors through this series and later this year with the debut of their permanent space.”

Following its May event, the Curbside Cookout series will continue monthly at The Station on June 18-19, July 16-17, and August 13-14. The pop-ups will be located in Bear Square, and guests can place their orders onsite or online for curbside pickup. The Station and Hospitality HQ will announce vendors for the May event in the coming week.

“We are thrilled to continue to roll out the summer-long Curbside Cookout series alongside some of the premiere culinary powerhouses in the community,” said Hospitality HQ Founding Partner, Chef Akhtar Nawab. ”We believe these weekend vendor previews will give The Station at Riverdale Park an exciting sneak peek into what our permanent space will have to offer upon opening later this year."

The Curbside Cookout series comes on the heels of the announcement of The Station at Riverdale Park’s food hall and ghost kitchen concept that Hospitality HQ will operate. The 8,500-square-foot site will house a total of nine independent culinary vendors between the food hall and ghost kitchen spaces, a sleek wrap-around bar and seating for more than 175 guests.
Interested vendors can contact anawab@hosphq.com to participate in future events at The Station at Riverdale Park, which may be considered trials for the forthcoming food hall.
