According to the Serious Eats site, Boston Speed's Famous Hot Dog Wagon in the Newmarket Square section of Boston is planning on opening on Peterborough Street in the "restaurant row" block that burned to the ground in January of 2009. The article on the website mentions that the new spot may have an expanded menu that could include different types of sausages as well as alcohol, though food and drink options have apparently not been confirmed as of yet.
If all goes as planned, the new Speed's in the Fenway neighborhood could be open sometime in the late winter or early spring of 2011. Also, the Serious Eats site states that the Speed's cart will indeed be staying open in Newmarket Square. [February 14, 2011 update: Based on information from Theo Associates and Universal Hub, the new Speed's on Peterborough Street might be opening in June of 2011, along with all the other restaurants within the block that plan to open/reopen.]
Other restaurants that expect to open in the block that was hit by last year's fire include El Pelon Taqueria, Rod Dee Thai Cuisine, and Thornton's Fenway Grill.
Thanks to a poster on the Chowhound site for initially bringing this to our attention.
