After years of operating while tucked away from Franklin Street foot traffic, Cosmic Cantina moved to 118 East Franklin Street in May. The space was previously home to Asia Café, but will now house the late-night joint known for its burritos. Cosmic Cantina looked to relocate two doors down ahead of UNC’s Porthole Alley Redevelopment Project. (Chapelboro.com)
