The first student-launched restaurant in Baltimore City!
Noisy Tenants collaborated with a group of work study students from Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School (MERVO) to develop their voice and impact on their school and community. We drove communication to discover their passions and post-high school plans. A majority of students aspired to own and operate a small business following graduation.
Noisy Burger! was a one week pop-up restaurant conceived by the work study students. Noisy Tenants facilitated connections with the newly opened R. House food hall in Remington. Students developed the concept, menu, and operated the restaurant in the pop-up stall at R. House. Noisy Burger! was featured on the front page of the Baltimore Sun and set records for weekend sales for pop-up and permanent locations.
