Radhika Sule, who sells freshly prepared Indian food under the Rustic Gourmet banner at area farmers' markets, confirms that she'll be moving into the Soup's On space on the Avenue in Hampden.
The opening date is planned for Aug. 15.
Sule says that the storefront cafe will operate under a new name -- The Verandah. I told Sule that "veranda" -- from the Urdu or Hindi, acrcording to Merriam-Webster -- was one of the prettiest words in the English language. She said that's why she chose it.
