NEW FACE IN FoPo
By Kathleen Bauer

The Foster-Powell neighborhood is a hot spot for development, as evidenced by the proliferation of port-a-potties and coffee joints popping up like candidates in an election year. A new entry is a tavern on 53rd and Foster called Cava, started by former Provvista provisioner Randall Montgomery and his wife, artist Amy Ruppel.

Modeled on the British gastropub, it specializes in high-quality food a step above basic “pub grub.” With rich colors on the walls and comfy wood booths lining the perimeter, this spot has a well-edited beer and wine list with lots of local representation. For a spot to cozy up in this winter, Cava could be just what the doctor ordered.
