New restaurants open their doors in Chapel Hill

Posted Jan 19, 2022
As 2021 came to an end, five restaurants, several operated by business owners of color, opened their doors in downtown Chapel Hill — and there are more to come. Seafood Destiny opened on Dec. 28 at the corner of Franklin and Columbia streets with a soft opening. Momo’s Master, a Nepalese restaurant, opened on North Columbia Street in November.
