Porter Exchange Food Court in Cambridge May Be Moving

One of the most beloved food courts in the Boston area is moving--though it won't be moving very far.

According to an article from Cambridge Day, the Porter Exchange Food Court within Lesley University's University Hall in Porter Square is slated to move to the former Shaking Crab space, which means the food court will basically move from the middle of the building to a front corner space that has an entrance on Mass. Ave. The post mentions that a formal plan isn't expected to be announced until September, and the restaurants apparently haven't been given specific details on the move as of yet.

The Porter Exchange Food Court is known for its handful of Asian dining spots, including Cafe Mami, Chocho's, I Love Sushi, Izakaya Ittoku, Sapporo Ramen, Tampopo, Yotopia, and Yume Ga Arukara.

Both the current and future address for the Porter Exchange Food Court is 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02140.

[September 19, 2023 update: Cambridge Day mentions that the plans to move the food court have fallen through.]
