A Wheeling restaurant made the list of 25 historic small restaurants to be awarded a grant by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Carlito’s Soul Kitchen was one of the restaurants to receive $40,000 in grants through the “Backing Historic Small Restaurants Grant Program.” 

The grant will be used to support the growth of the restaurant.

Recently, Carlito’s Soul Kitchen officially opened for breakfast and lunch after the owners of Carlito’s Soul Kitchen combined their menu from their other former location, Rachel’s on 16th.

This marks the third installment of the “Backing Historic Small Restaurants Grant Program,” which awards $1 million in grants, administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and funded by American Express, to 25 historic small restaurants throughout the country.
