Gateway Canteen Plans to Open in Boston's Chinatown Neighborhood

A new Hong Kong-style eatery may be coming to downtown Boston.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, Gateway Canteen is planning to open in Chinatown, moving into a space on Hudson Street. The notice states that the basement-level dining spot will be a "Hong Kong–style café serving hot and cold Chinese teas, coffee, soft drinks, sandwiches, and snacks."

While the hearing notice says that the address for the upcoming Gateway Canteen is 19-23 Hudson Street, it appears that the exact address will be 21B Hudson Street, based on an Instagram post from the Chinatown Resident Association.
