Local Pig & Pigwich  After six years in their original East Bottoms location, Local Pig & Pigwich, a meat market and sandwich shop will open in City Market on Wednesday, Jan. 16, at 20 E 5th Street, Suites 101A and 101C. After months of complex renovation to the space, the new Local Pig & Pigwich is an adjoined space with separate primary entrances on the 5th Street side and the Market side respectively. Co-owners Alex Pope and Matt Kafka have coordinated the opening for a fairly seamless transition from the old location with very little interruption to business and are excited about the new larger, more accommodating indoor space designed to serve more customers, and allow them to expand their selection of locally produced retail items and fine-tune their overall operation. The new Pigwich will have counter service and a larger menu featuring all their mainstays plus additional sandwiches that were formerly offered as specials limited to certai...

Many savvy diners create their own bucket list and reservations fill up quickly. The list of participating restauran...
