The New Retail Thread

The Watermark Sushi place is also opening today or tomorrow. It looks like they had a soft opening over the weekend as well.

Just walked past this and it looked fairly busy. Official name is "Yo! Sushi"
 
Wasn't there a "Yo! Sushi!" on Kneeland St for a hot minute a few years back? Place was good, but the dining room was huge for a strange stretch of road.
 
I thought that the one that just opened in the seaport are the same folks as who used to run "YoShi!" in Central Sq...

Eater write-up:

45,000 square feet of Italian food will arrive at the Prudential Center in Boston’s Back Bay shortly after Thanksgiving. The long-anticipated arrival of Eataly is almost here, with a grand opening planned for the afternoon of Tuesday, November 29.
...
Eataly Boston — which is hiring like crazy — spans three levels of the Prudential (and features three wood-burning ovens), giving diners and shoppers numerous options to get their Italian food fix. The giant space is comprised of a mix of full-service restaurants, fast-casual counters, and places to buy products to take home.

The Boston location includes three casual restaurant spaces that offer waiter service: La Pizza & La Pasta, La Piazza, and Il Pesce. While they’re all located within Eataly, they operate independently of each other in that if you sit in one, you’ll order from that particular menu — so don’t get a seat at Il Pesce if you’re looking for pizza.

Those three restaurant concepts can also be found at the two New York Eataly locations and the Chicago one. No word yet on whether Eataly Boston’s menus will be identical to those, but in general, diners will find Neapolitan pizza and a variety of pasta dishes at La Pizza & La Pasta (check out the NYC Flatiron location’s menu here); oysters, crudo, and other seafood dishes at Il Pesce (NYC menu); and a range of antipasti at La Piazza (Chicago menu).
...
Additionally, there’s a Lavazza Coffee Bar, a fresh mozzarella station, a fresh pasta counter, a bakery and “pastry lab,” a butcher, a fishmonger, salumi and formaggi, pizza to go, and more than 10,000 retail products, from olive oil (so much olive oil) to truffles, chocolate to spices. There are multiple general seating areas, including one by the Boylston Street entrance.
...
Plus, a fourth sit-down restaurant is in the works and will be located on Eataly’s third floor, but it won’t be ready for the November opening, and chief executive Nicola Farinetti revealed no details to the Globe. And one final piece of Eataly intel for now: There will be a cannoli cart.

And in smaller news, the Cheese Boy at South Station was totally removed.
 
Any idea to when Frank Anthony's in Fan Pier is slated to open? Much needed grocery type store for the area.
 
A new Under Armor store opened in the Prudential Center today. It's the second largest Under Armor store in the country.

They had their party last night. Tom Brady, Gisele, Kevin Plank and Jordan Spieth all were there.
 
Did someone mention yet that Watertown Arsenal's La Casa de Pedro is opening in Waterside Place Phase 1 in 2 weeks?
