PepperPot’s opening marks new shared space concept for Columbia Market House

Serving a variety of Caribbean dishes, PepperPot opened earlier this month in the Columbia Market House, taking the spot previously occupied by Gypsy Kitchen, which had been an anchor restaurant for the historic market but closed in June.

Like Gypsy Kitchen, PepperPot is open on some days when the market is closed, keeping a Wednesday through Saturday schedule inside the 15 S. Third St. facility. The market’s full roster of vendors is open only on Saturdays.

But unlike Gypsy Kitchen, PepperPot does not have exclusive use of the market’s kitchen, or the 100 seats arrayed in front of its stand. That’s because PepperPot isn’t actually an anchor restaurant but instead represents a new effort to revitalize the historic market by offering shared kitchen and seating space to food vendors.

Pennsylvania State House Representative Brett Miller introduced himself at Tuesday's Columbia Borough Council meeting. 

Pennsylvania State House Representative Brett Miller now represents Columbia Borough, since it was recently added to 41st House District due to redistricting. Dave Hickernell, who recently retired, was the previous representative for Columbia, when it was part of the 98th District.

At Tuesday's Columbia Borough Council meeting, Miller said he is shutting down his Centerville office to move into the corner office at 132 Locust Street, Columbia, with the first official day being Monday, January 30. The office will serve Columbia residents as well as all of the 64,000 residents of the current district and will be open 5 days a week.
