News from downtown Troy — most of it on Fourth Street, as it happens:

1) Bespoki Bowl, which started as a stall in the Troy Kitchen food court, now serves its Hawaiian poke bowls and Asian fare at 122 Fourth St., former home of The Flying Chicken. Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday. Facebook here, web here. Phone: 518-244-5347.



2) The Juice Factory VII is being developed with an eye toward an Oct. 13 opening at 151 Fourth St. Owner Genika Blandshaw, a Troy native and mother of four who has a background in event planning and is making her first venture as a restaurant proprietor, tells me she will offers fruit and vegetable shots, juices and smoothies; and soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday. Phone: 518-272-0777. Website and Facebook page are not yet online. Blandshaw says the menu on Grubhub is inaccurate. The “VII” is included in the name, the owners says, because the number 7 has special significance to her family.

3) A sign in the window of 32 Fourth St. indicates a restaurant called Test of Asian Fusion will replace what had been a barber shop. I’m not immediately finding any information about it online. More when I know it.

4) Nibble Inc., a doughnut shop that opened in late September 2014, is permanently closed, according to owner Jessie Cramer. It originally opened at 461 Broadway, where The Beer Diviner nanobrewery now has a tasting room (at least through the end of October). Nibble later moved to 333 Broadway.
