A New "Restaurant Row" May Be Coming to Burlington

As reported earlier, the upcoming Northwest Park development in Burlington is planning to include a new Wegmans market as well as a Kings bowling alley and restaurant. Now, it looks like the complex will also be home to a number of independent and chef-driven eateries as well.

According to The Boston Globe, the developer of Northwest Park, which will be located at Third Avenue just north of the Burlington Mall, will become a "culinary mecca," with a number of non-chain restaurants within the 285-acre development. The article includes a map that indicates Wegmans would be at one end of Third Avenue, with eateries lining the street between the supermarket and the other end of the street at the Middlesex Turnpike. The development will also include a boutique hotel, high-end rental housing, and office space.

It is not yet known what restaurants may be moving into Northwest Park, but the Globe mentions that there could be a high-end burger spot, a French cafe, and a gelato maker among others. (A total of 10 liquor licenses have been acquired by the developer.)

It appears that Wegmans and the adjacent restaurants could be up and running by the fall of 2013.
