Marseille soft opening this weekend in SoWa

Posted on April 26, 2023 | Leave a comment

Last December I shared that the team behind the popular restaurant, Petit Robert in the South End, would be opening a new restaurant in the space formerly home to GasLight Brasserie.

The new South End restaurant Marseille which opened last weekend will be open for brunch this weekend to coincide with the first SoWa Open Market of the season. There is a possibility the restaurant will try to open on Saturday but that has not been confirmed. If weather is nice enough the patio will also be open for outside dining. Brunch will begin at 10AM.

The new restaurant called Marseille, uses the French city as well as flavors from the western Mediterranean as inspiration for its menu, and over the next two nights, they will be hosting ‘friends and family nights’ before hosting a soft opening this weekend. If you’re interested in checking out the South End’s newest restaurant make a reservation on Open Table.

For those familiar with the former restaurant, you’ll notice much remains the same (the beautiful zinc bar for example) but the owners have purchased new patio furniture and the interior color palette is much lighter.

ST33LE (a.k.a. STEELE) brands flagship store in Provincetown is about to be joined by a new, smaller retail store in Boston’s SoWa neighborhood in the South End later this spring. The new store will operate as an extension to ST33LE’s headquarters and warehouse at 46 Plympton Street.

No opening date has been announced but when they do I’ll be certain to share it here.

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your answer in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: What has no weight, is visible to the naked eye, and when put inside a barrel, makes it lighter?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

FROLIC Tea Dance at Kartal in South End

Posted on April 19, 2023 | Leave a comment

Meet and mingle with members of The Men of Melanin Magic who host FROLIC: Men of Color Weekend in Provincetown, while enjoying great music by DJ Frenchy and delicious cocktails at the South End’s only cocktail bar, The Kartal (formerly The Eagle).

If you haven’t tried this new South End cocktai bar, this is the perfect excuse to check it out. Kartal has quickly become one of my favorite places in the neighborhood to enjoy a drink with friends.

Kartal goes gay with a little help from the Men of Melanin Magic on Sunday, April 23rd from 3PM-7PM.
