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

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

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.
