The delicious bagels of Boston draw in food lovers from all around.
Boston’s food scene is vibrant with news of PopUp Bagels expanding to two new locations while Kiin, a Thai restaurant, nears its long-awaited opening. Amid these developments, Guy Fieri’s Boston Kitchen + Bar has shut down after just over three years. The dining landscape faces challenges, but Bostonians are ready to embrace new culinary experiences.
Boston, the city known for its rich history and vibrant food scene, is buzzing with exciting developments! Just when you thought the bagel game couldn’t get stronger, PopUp Bagels is making a grand expansion. After just three months of dishing out their delicious “rip-and-dip” bagels in the Seaport, they’re gearing up to open not one, but two new locations!
Get ready for those warm, chewy bagels topped with heavenly spreads as PopUp Bagels sets its sights on Assembly Row in Somerville and Harvard Square at 1430 Massachusetts Avenue. Both new shops are anticipated to open later this year, much to the delight of bagel enthusiasts. It’s a real treat to see how quickly this bagel brand has carved a niche in the hearts (and stomachs) of Bostonians.
While we’re on the topic of delicious new openings, don’t forget about Kiin, a much-anticipated Thai restaurant. This gem, which will also serve sushi and ramen, is finally nearing its opening in East Cambridge—a journey that’s taken almost two years since the initial announcement. Kiin is a sibling restaurant to Chicken & Co., located near the lively Davis Square.
This week, the dining scene is bubbling with pop-ups that are worth checking out. Here’s the scoop:
In a turn of events in the Boston food landscape, Guy Fieri’s Boston Kitchen + Bar has officially closed its doors after just over three years of serving its mouthwatering meals. This closure was confirmed through multiple sources, and the restaurant’s webpage has been gracefully removed from Guy Fieri’s site.
The popular Boston Kitchen + Bar was located at 186 Tremont Street, a space that used to host Explorateur. This marks the second Fieri venture to shut down in Boston, following the closure of Guy Fieri’s Tequila Cocina in the fall of 2023.
Recent closures like these have stirred a conversation about the challenges restaurants face today. Many establishments have struggled with the aftermath of COVID-19, rising inflation, and operational challenges that have tested their resilience, as noted by local reports. The ever-changing culinary scene is as exciting as it is worrisome for both food lovers and restaurateurs.
Bostonians, get ready to embrace these new dining experiences while cherishing the memories of those we’ve lost. The city’s food scene is ever-evolving, promising new adventures just around the corner!
