Anybody know of anything interesting going on or where too check out for lunch/dinner/cocktails ? Sat Feb 02 18:01:13 -0800 2008 64241 admiralackbar 1 3360453 Certainly is a lot going on. They're building a couple of "lifestyle centers" around the Courthouse parking lot areas. Barbara Lynch is opening up a huge eatery in one of them, pastry shop, two resturants. Flour (JoAnne Chang) has a new (1 yr. old) location two streets down from the Childrens Museum. The new Weston has a couple decent restaurants (or one, Sauciety). Legal Sea Foods has LTK and across the street in the old Jimbo's building, Legals is going to put a "flagship resturant" whatever that means. I htink Menino is giving developers breaks in that area because it's the only one left to expand into and he wants it to be the new waterfront.

With Awesome drinks, a yummy food, live music 5 nights a week, and a great Sinatra joint, but not in a cheesy way. Almost like...they went wild on the Sinatra 7 years ago and kinda forgot about it now. Sun Feb 03 07:36:43 -0800 2008 3360453 160524 Debbiedoesfood 2 3360855 Barbara Lynch restaurant is actually opening on Congress St. across from A St. (and Luicky's) It is currently under construction. There will also be a restaurant in the new Renaisance Hotel (believe hotel is opening mid Feb.) Another place mentioned as opening soon is Persphone on Summer St, but I walk by periodically and have not noticed any construction activity. Opened not to long ago is Salvatore's on Northern Ave, just down the block from LTK. The Jimbo's building is probably best known as Jimmy's. Jimbo was originally across the street but when it's building was torn down it moved and occupied a small end of Jimmy's. The Jimmy's building has now also been torn down and and a new building will be built on the site. Believe Legal is going into the new building.

Sun Feb 03 12:24:16 -0800 2008 3360899 12620 Fort Point 1 3366621 I'd say that LTK is probably the most trendy/happenin' place in that area right now, but my favorite is still Lucky's (which is closer to S. Sta). Tue Feb 05 09:03:44 -0800 2008 3359778 152667 Ralphie_in_Boston
