56 West Closes, ‘StrEat Burger’ to Open in its Place

The popular 56 West served its last burger on Detroit Avenue, closing its doors earlier this week.

But don’t fret; a new restaurant is opening in its place following an extensive renovation.

Izzy Schachner and Jay Leitson partners in the popular food truck StrEat Mobile Bistro are opening a brick-and-mortar establishment in the space at 16300 Detroit Avenue.

Street Burger is expected to open in April. 

“We are going to be turning it a new concept,” said Schachner, adding that he’d like to keep a lid on many of the details.

“It’s going to be great.”

Meanwhile, construction crews have been working all week on the build-out of the new restaurant.

Clarification: The owner of 56 West, Don Farone, will not be a partner in the new venture.
