Hoboken honeygrow Restaurant Opens Next Week

Hoboken foodies will soon have a new restaurant to try out… honeygrow.

The stir-fry and salad specialist announced that they will officially open a new restaurant in Hoboken at 120 Washington Street on Oct. 19.

This is the chain’s sixth restaurant, a release stated.

The new location is located blocks from the PATH station, and will feature a menu that includes fully customizable stir-frys, salads and honeybar, along with their trademark Kale’atta (kale + mint + banana + pineapple) smoothie.

In addition, the company recently hired chef David Katz as its culinary director to augment the menu, which currently features local produce from several NY/NJ farms, freshly and locally made egg-white and whole-wheat noodles, and homemade sauces and dressings, a release stated.

The Hoboken location will also showcase the work of NYC-based photographer Joseph Michael Lopez, who worked closely with the honeygrow team to capture the subtle energy and beauty of the Hoboken and NYC area using black and white film.

Like the restaurant’s other locations, the Hoboken store will not house a freezer, as all product is procured and sold fresh, a release stated.

Following the Hoboken opening, two more locations are set to open before the end of the year, the company stated.

The company plans to add locations in Newark on the University of Delaware campus and on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania on Walnut Street across from the Wharton graduate school.

These two additional locations will make a total of eight restaurants for the Philadelphia-born startup, which recently raised $25 million in capital funding from Miller Investment Management in June 2015, a release stated.
