An award-winning restaurant in downtown Boston has reopened a day shortly after being seized by state.
According to a source, Gourmet Dumpling House in the city's Chinatown neighborhood was closed last night, with a sign out front saying that it has been seized for nonpayment of taxes and is now in the possession of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Another source tells us this afternoon, however, that the sign is now gone and that the restaurant is open once again.
Gourmet Dumpling House is often mentioned as one of the top dumpling spots in the Boston area, with Travel and Leisure once picking it as one of the 25 best Chinese restaurants in the United States. (CNNGo also included it among the 50 best Chinese restaurants in the country several years back.)
The address for Gourmet Dumpling House is 52 Beach Street, Boston, MA, 02111.
