According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, Shaking Crab is looking to open in the former Troquet space on Boylston Street by Boston Common, with a hearing on the proposed license transfer taking place May 3. If approved, the new eatery would join others in Newton and Quincy, both of which offer such items as fried oysters, crab legs, mussels, shrimp, and lobster.
Troquet recently moved to a new (and larger) space on South Street in the Leather District, taking over the spot where Bel Ari had been.
The address for the new Shaking Crab in Boston is 140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for the original location in Newton can be found at http://www.shakingcrabnewtonma.com/
[January 19 update: Eater Boston states that Shaking Crab opens in the old Troquet space on Tuesday, January 23, joining other locations in Newton and Quincy along with another that recently opened in Cambridge's Porter Square. (Yet another new outlet is coming to Brookline's Coolidge Corner as well.)]
