Does it sell weed?
It does sell alchohol (just like the BU campus TB cantina) and my weed guy only lives a few blocks away, so it's got all the bases covered.

A couple of possible retail highlights spotted on Reddit. The closed Whole Foods at St. Mary's may be a new H-Mart Brookline as well as the neighboring Japonaise may re-open after closing for covid. And more good news, new sidewalk re-build for a possible beer garden Boylston Station? This may be a tough spot for an outdoor dining venue with the number of panhandlers in the area.

The next suburban brewery with a Boston location has arrived! 13K SF too, wow!
Boylston Street could end up with two Trader Joe's - one regular sized, one pint sized
The Boston Licensing Board this morning approved plans for a 16,500-square-foot Trader Joe's at 500 Boylston St., with enough room for liquor sales, but the chain says it will also keep its current, world's-smallest Trader Joes's, just four blocks away at 889 Boylston St. "We have no plans to...
Back Bay poised to get big new Trader Joe's, this time with liquor
Update: Approved, with a 9 p.m. closing time. The Boston Licensing Board could vote tomorrow whether to grant a liquor-store license to Trader Joe's so it can open a larger new store in the Denny Crane building, 500 Boylston St., just four blocks from its current small store. Read more.
Larger Trader Joe's coming to Back Bay. 16,500 sf store will also be able to sell alcohol and close as late a 9 pm.
Taco place with 2 a.m. closing time approved in the Fenway over opposition of neighborhood association
The Boston Licensing Board today approved plans for a Bartaco at 100 Van Ness St. in the Fenway, with indoor hours until 2 a.m. and seasonal-patio hours until 11 p.m. Read more.
Bartaco has been approved for their Fenway location (100 Van Ness Ave) and will have a 2 am indoor closing time, 11 pm seasonal patio closing time. They bought their Liquor License from Hard Rock Cafe. The Fenway Civic Association had opposed the proposal citing concerns over noise and that people could get a drink on the patio without having to buy food.

Lots of activity on that corner if you like pigeons! One of the largest flocks in the entire city hangs out right there around the Boylston station exit.
Speaking of... will the hideous screeching of the trolleys as they negotiate the hairpin curve there be annoyingly audible from where the beer garden will be operating?
(Note that very detailed WBUR piece didn't guarantee that the MBTA's noise-dampening attempts would be successful... can anyone vouch if they have been?)

I wonder if that's the vacated Wagamama space? I love that restaurant, and was sad to see it close.

Nah Wagamama is now Limani Grille, it just opened. It could be one of the ground floor commercial spaces in the BCG building (Tatte and Greco are there). The side facing Commonwealth Pier is completely unoccupied and has been since the building went up. There are some large storefronts there, too. I believe Grafitto is leasing that space.

Edit: looking at addresses on Google Maps I bet it’s in the Superette, the commercial space around Alyx and Echelon with the open courtyard. That would make more sense, there are some prime first and second floor venues there
Pier 4 - GraffitoSP
Once home to one of the highest grossing restaurants in the US, Anthony’s Pier 4, Commonwealth Partners is looking to continue the legacy at Pier 4 by adding a best-in-class restaurant operator and retailer to the ground floor tenant mix.

Great, so now when I tell people I'm a racing fan, instead of asking me, "Do you watch Drive to Survive?" they'll ask, "Have you been to that F1 place in the Seaport?"

From the recent Volpe project presentation--recent openings and soon-to-open retail establishments in MIT properties in Kendall Square. I'm excited to see Ripple opening a location in Kendall--their Ashmont location is nice!
