Flying Star Cafe’s original location is re-opening after a three-month remodel.

This location of the restaurant is planning to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a block party on Saturday, commemorating the re-opening of the company’s original Nob Hill location, at 3416 Central Ave. SE.

The event will show off the restaurant’s new look, featuring a new facade, a new layout and other updates. Jean Bernstein, president and CEO of Flying Star, added that the event is also designed to celebrate Nob Hill as a neighborhood, as well as the restaurant.

“Route 66 Central is the heart beat of our city,” Bernstein said in a prepared statement. “It’s the main line that all of Albuquerque sprouted from.”

The original Flying Star, which first opened as Double Rainbow Ice Cream in 1987, closed for remodeling in August. At the time, Bernstein said it would be the restaurant’s first significant remodel in more than 20 years, one that’s designed to modernize the look of the restaurant while preserving the history of the building, which dates back to the 1940s.
