Hopscotch is adding a pinch of Mediterranean flare and a large dose of cocktails to the Gainesville square. Albert Lunalover, co-owner and head chef at Avocados Restaurant, chose the empty space next to his restaurant for the new business, which will have its soft opening at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 23.
