The former India restaurant sits empty next to Town Hall on Main Street. What would you like to see occupy the space.
Between Town Hall and the George Hall Lobrary, in the heart of Warren's downtown, sits an impressive, vacant property. The former India restuarant, complete with a lounge and large outdoor patio, is available for sale for the right person. The two-level reastaurant/lounge space has ample space for another eatery, event space, or perhaps an art gallery. What would you like to see in the space? Tell us your ideas in the comments section below. Who knows? Maybe someone will take you up on the plan.
