A post from NorthEndWaterfront.com indicates that Urban Cantina on Salem Street is looking to transfer its liquor license to a dining spot called North End Oyster, though few other details have been given other than the fact that the new restaurant could be open until midnight and that no renovations to the space are planned for now. Urban Cantina first opened in September of 2014, offering such items as quesadillas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, and burgers; previously, Ferrara's had been in the space, and before that, Caffe Nuovo, both of which had the same ownership. (Urban Cantina had different owners.)
The address for Urban Cantina (and the proposed North End Oyster) is 76 Salem Street, Boston, MA, 02113.
Thanks to the Boston Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog for bringing this to our attention.
[April 14 update: A new post from NorthEndWaterfront.com states that the North End / Waterfront Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) has unanimously approved of the license transfer from Urban Cantina to North End Oyster, with the proposed restaurant being described in the meeting as "Neptune Oyster on steroids."]
[June 23 update: NorthEndWaterfront.com mentions that Urban Cantina is now closed.]
