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.
