Mamaleh's at High Street Place in Downtown Boston Has Closed

A local group of Jewish delis has gotten a bit smaller, as its location within a Boston food court has shuttered.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Mamaleh's at High Street Place in the city's downtown area is no longer in business, with a photo showing the space completely cleared out while the food hall's website has removed the spot from its site. Locations of the deli in Cambridge's Kendall Square, Brookline's Washington Square, and Boynton Yards in Somerville remain in operation.

Mamaleh's debuted with the opening of High Street Place in the winter of 2022.

Dugout Cafe in Boston Has Closed

It looks like a Boston bar that has been around for nearly 100 years has shut down.

According to an Instagram post from mendoza_comedy, the Dugout Cafe on Commonwealth Avenue by Boston University is no longer in business, with the post saying the following:

Hey all, we've received word that the Dugout Cafe is officially, permanently closed. WE HAVE A NEW VENUE for this Saturday, ticket holders will be updated, but The Mendoza Line at the Dugout Cafe is officially done. Thank you to everyone that has performed, attended, or produced our cozy little show in the back room of a bar over the last 12 years.

This follows on the heels of an article from Universal Hub saying that the liquor license for the Dugout Cafe is being sold to the upcoming Seaport District location of Earl's Kitchen and Bar, which will join other locations of the chain at the Prudential Center in the Back Bay and Assembly Row in Somerville.

The Dugout Cafe, which dates back to 1934, has been a popular spot with BU students over the years.

The address for the now-closed Dugout Cafe was 722 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215.
