proximity, but it's unpretentious," Leibowitz says, noting that
families are welcome—his own kids can amuse themselves

feasting on the special children's menu.
Leibowitz envisions changing up the producers every
18 months or so—and could even go beyond beverages. "It
could be anything—a woodworker, a cheesemonger, a candle
maker, and a cannabis store—if that was legal. I see a lot of
expansion for the concept."
Perhaps even into a second location, but that's a way
off, Leibowitz says. "I absolutely have bigger plans than
Burlington, but I want to take it slow and make sure that
we get it right. I like the idea that we're doing something
good: giving the craft producers a chance to thrive and get to
wherever that next level is."
