The Patriot Ledge is reporting that the first phase of the project called Merchants Row will include restaurants along Cottage Avenue, with Alba Restaurant apparently being included--remaining in its current spot where Cottage Avenue meets Hancock Street. However, Granite Rail Tavern, Tully's Cafe, and Quincy Jade will all close, making room for new dining spots, according to the article. It is not known which restaurants might be going into the upcoming restaurant row, nor is it mentioned when the three existing spots might close; as soon as we receive more information, we will post an update here.
Cottage Street is located between Hancock Street and Chestnut Street on the eastern edge of the downtown area.
