A Restaurant Is Coming to the John Hancock Tower

Boston's highest building will soon be home to a restaurant. According to the Boston Globe, a casual dining spot that will probably be a cafe-style place is in the works for the ground floor and mezzanine levels of the John Hancock Tower in the Back Bay. The Globe states that work on the restaurant, which will be 8,000 square feet in size, will probably start sometime early in 2010. A second restaurant may eventually come to the 60-story, 790-foot-high building, but it may not happen for quite some time, according to the newspaper.

[August 9, 12, 2010 updats: A post on the EveryBlock Boston site has indicated that the Blue Glass Cafe was issued a business license for a restaurant at the John Hancock Tower a few days ago. It appears that this is indeed the upcoming cafe-style restaurant mentioned in this article. Also, a poster on the Hiddenboston Twitter page has mentioned that the Blue Glass Cafe is looking to open on August 30 for breakfast, lunch, catering, and coffee.]
