For the last several years, a corner property at the gateway to York’s Cherry Lane has been vacant, but later this year, the 3,000-square-foot space will transform into a whiskey and pizza lover’s dream.

The Fig and Barrel, owned by Shrewsbury residents Nathan and Lisa Novak, is expected to open at 25-27 W. Market Street this fall. The duo will turn the space into a whiskey-driven, wood-fired brick-oven pizza gastro pub.
