The New Retail Thread

Earls purchased the Dugout dive bar's liquor license for this location. An example where the regulatory imposed scarcity of liquor licenses resulted in the BU area losing a bar/liquor license to an area with higher consumer/corporate demand.

The Back Bay outpost of the fast-growing, Manhattan, N.Y.-based 7th Street Burger, at 267 Newbury St., which currently operates daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., is requesting that its closing time be extended to 2 a.m., said Jon Aieta, an attorney for the applicant.

In another matter, representatives for the existing Back Bay outpost of another chain of fast-casual burger restaurants, Shake Shack at 236 Newbury St., also broached the idea of closing at a later hour.

Hum, two Newbury Street burger joints (that are 500 feet apart) both petitioning for late night hours at the same time.

I smell the work of a marketing firm selling both chains the same service need analysis for a late night location (one) in that part of Newbury. Somebody is not going to do well with the service expansion (or perhaps both fail by dilution of customer base).

I agree- you're probably onto something there - too much of a coincidence.

But, maybe, Boston is growing up and becoming a real city? I don't care what the origin of the idea is - - I just am in favor of increased urbanity. More housing units, more 24/7 dynamic? Bring it on. Enough with the Sleepy Hamlet.

I met someone last year who bumped into Nomar Garciaparra a couple months earlier. He asked him his favorite place he was as a player. He answered "Boston - - it's my favorite town...........but Chicago is my favorite CITY".

Cool quote, but that irked me.

Dalmoros Fresh Italian, formerly known as DalMoros Fresh Pasta To Go, will open its first location this week at Boston's South Station, a transportation hub, according to a company press release.
The restaurant, located at 700 Atlantic Ave., inside the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority station, will offer Italian-style sandwiches, salads, garlic breadsticks and a build-your-own pasta menu aimed at commuters and travelers. The opening marks the brand's first location in a transit center.
U.S. founder and franchisee David Caruso brought the pasta-to-go concept from Venice, Italy, to the United States in 2021. The company operates locations in St. Petersburg and Gainesville, Florida, with additional openings planned in Austin and San Antonio, Texas.

Not "new" per se, but a revival. Yet again Jacob Wirth is taking a swing at reopening. It's such a good historical building in a well-trafficked part of the city. I walked by there the other day and the whole section is just filthy, covered in trash and food containers. Wishing the owners luck, but we've heard this at least a few times in the past...

And just think of what an incredible improvement it would be on so many levels - - - clean up that one area and the ancillary benefits could very well domino out. The international youth hostel a few doors down, it’s at the foot of a very tall resi skyscraper, Emerson is all around, the theatre district - - add a German beer hall/live piano singing venue …….. the synergy for a changing dynamic is there!
