UBC Plans to Open in the Alewife Section of Cambridge

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like a new restaurant is on its way to a part of Cambridge that is starting to heat up.

According to a licensing commission hearing agenda page within the city's website, a dining spot tentatively called UBC is planning to open in the Alewife area, with the listing saying that the Cambridgepark Drive place would have seating for 160 inside, another 92 on an outdoor patio, and a total outside occupancy of 500 (the total occupancy inside would be 225). Based on the hours shown, it appears that the restaurant might be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, though more will likely be known about the hours--and the restaurant itself--when the meeting takes place on April 10.

The address indicates that UBC would be located across the street from the Alewife T station in a building that includes offices and research space.

The address for the proposed UBC would be 35 Cambridgepark Drive, Cambridge, MA, 02140.

[April 9 update: A tweet from Jan Devereux (the Vice Mayor of Cambridge) indicates that the new restaurant at Alewife will be called Ultimate Burger.]
