Tiffani Faison to Open Fool's Errand in Boston's Fenway Neighborhood

A few months ago, we heard that one of Boston's best-known chefs was planning to open a third restaurant in the city. Now we have learned a bit more about the place.

Boston Magazine is reporting that Tiffani Faison is going to be opening Fool's Errand in the Fenway area, with the article saying that the eatery will be located next to Sweet Cheeks on Boylston Street and will have seating for 12 and a ticketed reservation system set up, though no information on the exact concept has been given as of yet. Late this summer, we discovered (via a licensing board page) that Fool's Errand was indeed on the way to the Fenway and that it would apparently be sharing the Sweet Cheeks liquor license, though when asked about the place, Faison told us that she did not have any additional information to share at the time.

In addition to Sweet Cheeks, Tiffani Faison also runs Tiger Mama, a Southeast Asian-influenced restaurant just down the block on Boylston Street.

The address for Sweet Cheeks is 1381 Boylston Street; it is not yet known if Fool's Errand will also have this address as well.

[March 30, 2018 update: A post within the job openings section of bostonchefs.com indicates that Fool's Errand will be "an intimate American style tapas bar with a focus on wine and fortified spirits."]

[June 26, 2018 update: An Instagram post from Tiffani Faison indicates that Fool's Errand will open early this summer and that it is being branded as an "adult snack bar."]

[July 26, 2018 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe states that Fool's Errand is expected to open within the next few days.]

[August 15, 2018 update: According to a press release, Fool's Errand opens tomorrow and it will be a "standing room only" snack bar with room for 20-30 people, while the space includes a wooden bar, a small countertop, and a patio.]
