As a matter a fact, Eddie named the district,\u201d Olivieri and Nickell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">Olivieri and Nickell say they\u2019re excited to see the growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">\u201cWe have one right next to us here at Bites and Bubbles that\u2019s getting ready to open later on this year, so it\u2019s exciting, we love it,\u201d Olivieri and Nickell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">That growth isn\u2019t slowing down anytime soon. More places to eat means more people and more cars. Leaders say parking has been an issue, but solutions are in the works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">The city has proposed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orlando.gov\/Building-Development\/City-Projects\/Building-a-Better-Downtown-Orlando\" style=\"color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">seven-story<\/a> parking garage near Mills Avenue and East Colonial Drive, which could add hundreds of spaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">\u201cThat\u2019s one of the major complaints we get of no parking. Then of course, they move back into the neighborhoods, and we want to keep our neighbors happy, they\u2019re the heart of our city, and of our neighborhood,\u201d Jeff Dry, board president of Mills 50 Main Street, said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">Dry says it\u2019s not just cars that are on the minds of people who live, work and eat in the area. Pedestrian safety is also important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">The city of Orlando is proposing a <a href=\"https:\/\/spectrumnoticias.com\/us\/noticias\/news\/2026\/04\/26\/orlando-mills-50-pedestrian-crosswalk\" style=\"color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mid-block crosswalk<\/a> at Canton Street, designed to make it easier and safer for people to cross busy Mills Avenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">\u201cWe would love to have more, if we can have the city work on that, that\u2019d be fantastic. Especially in that busy area right where they\u2019re going to put the crosswalk that\u2019s where some of the new restaurants are opening, so it will help. But a couple more would be great,\u201d Dry said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">Some of the new restaurants and businesses have already opened, but the majority are expected to open by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0; line-height: 1.6;\">A full list of the new restaurants and businesses coming to Mills 50 will be available below:<\/p>\n<p>Amp\u2019d Guitar Den &#8211; (not a restaurant)<br \/>\nCatch\u00e8<br \/>\nCowboy Curry<br \/>\nEarth Grounds Coffee + Matcha<br \/>\nFan Hwa<br \/>\nHayashi Tar\u014d<br \/>\nJay Lucy\u2019s<br \/>\nKap\u00e9 Kaya<br \/>\nKoa Sushi &amp; Poke<br \/>\nLittle Sister Dumpling<br \/>\nNgoc Ha Vietnamese<br \/>\nNomori<br \/>\nOkonomi<br \/>\nOza Izakaya<br \/>\nPomelo<br \/>\nRews on Mills &#8211; (Nightlife)<br \/>\nRobin\u2019s Creamery<br \/>\nTremble &#8211; (not a restaurant)<br \/>\nUdon Fifty<br \/>\nUji Matcha<br \/>\nUnimart: Conbini Experience<br \/>\nWavy Baby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Mills 50 is already known for its food, nightlife and local businesses, and now, even&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[2031,274,6507,558,770,2200,115,1053,1335,768,139,141,140,278,2032,835],"class_list":["post-367076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-app-local-business","tag-app-top-stories","tag-ashley-engle","tag-business","tag-community-news","tag-instagram-bn9","tag-news","tag-orange","tag-orange-county","tag-orange-county-fl","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-top-stories","tag-trending-topics","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
