Curbed Detroit reports a new restaurant, Selden Standard, is planned for lots on Second near Selden, about halfway between W. Willis and Martin Luther King, an area not overrun -- yet -- with gentrification.

Reports Sarah Cox:

"Two storefronts on Second Avenue and the lot to the north will be transformed into a new restaurant that Andy Hollyday, former Executive Chef at Michael Symon's Roast, is starting with his business partner Evan Hansen. To the south. Midtown Detroit is working on renovating the adjacent park. That's a lot of action all at once for the sleepy area across from Honest?Johns." 

"The casual neighborhood restaurant's design is all tables, no booths, with a bar at front and an open kitchen. There will be a patio in the back (one of the building halves is shorter than the other), and the lot to the north will be parking."
