The Green Return

The Green Room is coming back! After losing its longtime lease in the Ford Building last year (they opened there in 1996), the popular Detroit lunchtime spot will be setting up shop in the Guardian Building at 500 Griswold Street come spring. Owner Steve Zuccaro – who also owns Lunch Box Deli and Burrito Mundo – said at one point last year they were thinking about throwing in the towel and going in another direction before fate intervened. He said the new space will offer a few new healthier options for guests, and have online ordering, but the salad bar, much like its predecessor, will be the main draw. Coming in at 12-feet-long, the salad bar will have over 70 options and 12 different soups, including vegan and vegetarian options. “We’re ecstatic,” he said. “As soon as we can possibly open, we are going to.”
