A month after our report about The Block potentially going dark at Pike & Rose, employees inside the four-year-old food hall tell us they’re expecting it to close at the end of April. Originally planned as an all-Asian food hall with a central bar, The Block cycled through a number of different food vendors and eventually added tacos, cheesesteaks and other cuisines to the lineup. It’s not clear what’s next for this space, but we’re hearing rumors that a Japanese restaurant is moving in. Federal Realty, which owns Pike & Rose, declined to comment.
