A coffee shop and lounge in downtown Boston is looking to expand to a space in a part of Charlestown with few dining options.
According to a licensing hearing page within the city's website, Tradesman is planning to open on Hood Park Drive, moving into a space within The Harvey apartment development just south of Sullivan Square. An article from the Charlestown Bridge mentions that Mark Grzelak and Mevzad Durakovic of Tradesman in the Hilton hotel on Broad Street are behind the proposed spot, which would be a coffee shop in the morning and a full-service restaurant at lunch and dinner while also having a bar and an outdoor patio.
In addition to Tradesman, Grzelak and Durakovic also run Louie's and Fin Point Oyster Bar + Grille in downtown Boston.
The address for Tradesman in Charlestown is 50 Hood Park Drive, Charlestown, MA, 02129. The website for the original Tradesman can be found at http://www.tradesmanboston.com/
[December 10 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, the Charlestown location of Tradesman is in the middle of a soft opening, with the Instagram page for the place saying that an official opening is planned for Tuesday, December 14.]
