This place will crush it. It's the sister restaurant of Barcelona!

I like bartaco- went to the one in West Hartford a few weeks back. Really good, really fun. It'll kill it in Boston. I didn't realize it was a chain.

Also, looks like Superdry is opening this month at Cambridgeside Galleria. I guess they already have a South Shore Plaza location, but I'm not sure how they'll do here. I don't feel like their products will align too much with American (especially Boston) tastes. A little too gaudy (everything has patches!). But we'll see. https://www.superdry.com/us/
 
so, I'll guess that my.... "it'll be a hit" = "this place will crush it" = "it'll kill it in Boston". Once I retired from teaching I now find myself fairly out of it. A few years after I retired I got onto a site called, Rate your teacher. Well, I actually found my name/school and one of the comments said, "Mr. F was the shit!" Needless to say, I was crushed....that is until I googled it. :)

Dear god Social Register in Seaport (D Street; in Aloft hotel) never gets any business. The bar was full .. but that's it.
 
An article on new retail in the Seaport District from Boston Magazine.

All told, in the next five or so weeks, 10 new restaurants and cafés will debut along a couple-block stretch of between Sleeper Street and the Seaport Shake Shack. It’s more than 72,000 square feet of dining space, reports a rep for WS Development, the company behind the 23-acre project. Better Bagels is in the new Watermark building, and all nine others are at One Seaport, Boston’s largest mixed-used development project in more than 30 years, situated beneath shiny new residences at the Benjamin and Via.
 
I wonder if this will be the restaurant component of the Trillium Brewery. I thought Trillium was going to open up their own restaurant in the new space but they might focus on beer and partner with a restaurant in a shared/connected space.

Bar-Taco will be in 25 Thomson St. Trillium has it's own restaurant space they are running in the building they will be occupying. (47 Farnsworth)
 
Don’t know how I’ve missed this, but a new sweetgreen location has opened up on the first floor of the 60 State Street building.
