Aquitaine Boston reopening soon

Posted on June 3, 2016 | 1 comment

gossipOne of the South End’s most popular restaurants, Aquitaine, closed for renovations back on February 21st. Shortly after closing they papered their over-sized windows to hide the work being done but soon that paper will come down and their doors will be open for business.

Although their website indicates a Monday, June 20th opening, rumor has it that Aquitaine Boston is targeting June 15th. Regardless, I can hardly wait to see the newly remodeled space and want to wish them all the best. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the South End, and I have missed Aquitaine over these last 3+ months.

I want to dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Word of the day: Gifted

Posted on June 1, 2016 | Leave a comment

I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary.  Today’s vocabulary word is Gifted. I’m borrowing a photograph from April’s “Vintage Gay” post to help bring the definition to life.

Runnah (ˈɡiftəd/ adjective) 
Definition: having exceptional talent or natural ability.
Example: Those navy boys are certainly gifted.

Boston Flower Exchange could become a technology complex

Last year The Abbey Group purchased the 5.6-acre parcel that has been home to the Boston Flower Exchange. Last week news outlets started reporting that the new owners have plans to build a “dynamic” commercial office building complex targeting new technology businesses that otherwise might seek space in Cambridge’s Kendall Square.

The proposed development would include accessory parking, retail and public space, and possibly residential space.  At its full zoning potential, the development could bring 5,000 to 10,000 jobs to the site.

You can read the full article on the Boston Herald.

Bar Mezzana opens in South End on June 1

Posted on May 31, 2016 | Leave a comment

Italy, Italian, sweet life, bar mezzanaLast fall I wrote about Bar Mezzana’s opening in the Ink Block’s Sepia Building. At the time the projected spring opening seemed so far off it was hard to imagine, but fast forward 6 months and tomorrow on Wednesday, June 1 Bar Mezzana opens to the public adding another Italian dining option to the n’hood.

Friends and Family nights were well received and the hype is building for the 130 seat (and 40-seat outdoor patio) restaurant that has ties to one of the South End’s favorite chefs, Barbara Lynch. Time will tell where Bar Mezzana sits in the pantheon of great South End restaurants but I wish them luck and look forward to trying the neighborhood’s newest restaurant.
