Signage has gone up in the windows of 602 Vanderbilt Avenue, where restaurant 606 R&D is preparing to expand with takeout and groceries. The spinoff, to be called R&D Foods, will have a counter with seating, according to the website. Offerings will include prepared foods, vegetables, sandwiches, deli items, breads, pastry, donuts, and coffee. There will also be catering.

“Opening Winter 2014” says the site, and the hours will be 8 am to 8 pm seven days a week. The space was previously home to salon Wink Eco Beauty Bar. Thanks to Cara Greenberg for the tip and photo. GMAP

  1. Vanderbilt has been really slow to add new businesses. There are at least half a dozen empty store fronts that have been vacant for a long time. Seems like everyone is going to Washington or Franklin where there is literally a new place opening up every month. Oh and doesn’t “stocked” across the street do the exact same thing as this new R&D foods? Not that I would be sad to see stocked go out of business, I bought one cup of $7.00 soup there and pretty much never went back.
