Some new businesses are expected to open in the neighborhood very soon! Here are some we’re excited about!

Cook House

Well, this is exciting news: the team at Broadway Restaurant Group (Lincoln, Capo, Loco, Fat Baby, Hunter’s) is opening a new spot on West Broadway in the old South Boston Chinese and Certified Meatball Company spots. The Zoning Board of Appeals approved plans by BRG to open a 352-seat restaurant called Cook House.  BRG attorney Ryan Spitz told the board that Chef Nick Dixon will be a part of the new venture. The new restaurant will be made up of small spaces offering different dining opportunities, like seating along an open, wood-fired kitchen, another group of seats around a circular fireplace, and more seats in a more cozy area beyond ceiling-height trees.  There will also be a large skylight to the ceiling to lighten things up! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be offered at Cook House in addition to a bakery cafe!

Sally’s Apizza is coming to town!

Considered one of the best pizza spots in the country by some, a Connecticut restaurant is coming to the neighborhood! Sally’s Apizza will open in Fort Point on Thompson Place in 2024. Sally’s Apizza was founded in New Haven, CT, by Salvatore “Sally” Consiglio in 1938. According to its website, they hand-craft authentic New Haven pizza in custom-designed ovens using the original recipes. The pizza is known for its distinctive tomato sauce and chewy, crispy crust with an iconic oven-kissed char. The pizza is so good that people have it shipped nationwide! Wowza!

The Broadway Golf Club

Listen up, golf enthusiasts! The Broadway Golf Club will be opening in September! The 7,300 SF basement space on West Broadway will feature golf simulators and serve beer + wine! They are now accepting memberships!  Visit the Broadway Golf Club’s website and follow them on Instagram! 

New Lydia Shire Project

BioMed Realty recently executed a lease with renowned James Beard award-winning chef Lydia Shire for a restaurant concept at Seaport Science Center, a 492,000 square-foot life science redevelopment in Boston, MA. Slated to open in 2024, this new concept will complement the venerable Scampo which Shire opened at the Liberty Hotel in 2008.

Another Blank Street Coffee

After a successful opening on East Broadway, the wildly popular coffee chain is expected to open its second location in the neighborhood on West Broadway near Broadway Station! We don’t have an exact opening date, but we are working on it! Founded in the summer of 2020, Blank Street was born from the idea that great coffee should not come at a premium. The goal is to provide tech-enabled, premium coffee at an affordable price.

Pig Beach

Listen up, BBQ lovers! The award-winning BBQ concept Pig Beach from legendary NYC restaurateur Rob Schwager and fellow BBQ pitmasters Matt Abdoo and Shane McBride will be opening a spot inside of PKL this fall! The menu will feature some Pig Beach classics like baby back ribs, smoked chicken wings, pulled pork shoulder, beef brisket, and an array of delicious sides.

Museum of Ice Cream

The Museum of Ice Cream will be coming to the Seaport in 2024! Museum of Ice Cream? You ask.  Yes!  The two-level “experium” will feature 14 interactive installations that celebrate ice cream and Boston’s culture, in addition to offering guests the chance to eat ice cream treats! According to its website, the Museum of Ice Cream “brings to life the universal power of ice cream by creating experiences that inspire imagination and connection, helping to rediscover the kid in you!” Well, that sounds like fun!

Virtual Food Court – VFC

When we recently drove by the old Supreme House of Pizza on Old Colony Ave near the Rotary, we saw a sign that read “Virtual Food Court.” We quickly did a Google search and discovered it is a soon-to-be new restaurant featuring a wide variety of international food, including American, Asian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and more. Initially, we thought maybe it would be like a ghost kitchen or some sort of delivery/takeout outlet.  But it’s going to be an actual, real-life restaurant…for now. According to a Universal Hub report (via Boston Restaurant Talk ), the Boston Licensing Board just approved plans for Virtual Food Court (VFC) to open at 313 Old Colony Ave.

Reunion Cafe

The long-vacant spot at A and West Broadway, which once was the home of Mul’s Diner, has a new tenant!  According to a post on Instagram via the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA), Reunion will open in early 2025.  Reunion will feature coffee, breakfast, and lunch items made with fresh local ingredients.
