[Ed note: This article has been updated to reflect a different address for the place.]
It looks like a new dining spot could be moving into the heart of Boston, and it would get its license from a now-closed North End spot known in part for its seafood.
According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, Little Black Dress Restaurant is looking to open on West Street in Downtown Crossing, and it is seeking the license of Rabia's Dolce Fumo which was on Salem Street until closing last June. The notice states that the proposed spot would have a lounge and cafe area on the ground floor in the front, a dining area at the mezzanine level, and a large open dining area on the second floor while the plan is to have a beer, wine, and liqueurs license. No other information has been given about Little Black Dress other than the manager listed being Obi Anosike, so keep checking back for updates.
The address for the proposed Little Black Dress Restaurant is 13-15 West Street, Boston, MA 02111.
