The folks behind a restaurant and lounge in Cambridge's Harvard Square are opening a new dining spot in nearby Central Square, and it may be serving up Asian street food.
According to several sources, including Adam's Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog, The Tech, and centralsquare.com, Moksa is planning to open on Mass. Ave. near the Brookline Street intersection. The folks who run OM Restaurant and Lounge on Winthrop Street in Harvard Square are behind the opening of Moksa, and it is possible that Patricia Yeo (of the now-closed Ginger Park in Boston's South End) may be involved with the new eatery as well, as the Boston Herald mentions that she is now at OM and is working with the owners to open a place in Central Square (the Herald says that the Central Square spot has no name at the present time).
The Tech article indicates that Moksa will feature street-style Asian fare.
