Beatnic in Boston's Back Bay Has Closed

A vegan spot in Boston that rebranded a few years ago has shut down.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Beatnic in the Back Bay is no longer in business, with a check on the website for the business seeming to indicate that all locations--including in New York City--have apparently shuttered (the website is now down).

The address for the now-closed location of Beatnic in the Back Bay was 399 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116.

Little Steve's Pizzeria Is Returning to Boston

A few years ago, it was reported that a decades-old pizza place in Boston was closing, and now it is coming back, apparently with a different owner.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, Little Steve's Pizzeria has applied for a common victualler license to operate at its former address on Boylston Street where the Back Bay and Fenway meet, with the notice saying that it will have seating for 43 and a seasonal patio, and the notice also lists Koushik Babu Koganti as the manager; this is presumably the same Koushik Koganti who is involved with such spots as Godavari, Boston Halal, Madras Dosa, and other businesses in the local area including the upcoming Don't Tell Aunty.

Little Steve's Pizzeria, which first opened in 1968, was looking to be replaced by another restaurant in 2021, but those plans apparently fell through at some point, while Universal Hub also mentions that a dispensary had been looking to open there as well and those plans never came to fruition, either.

The address for the Little Steve's space is 1114 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02215. Its website can be found at https://www.littlestevespizza.com/

Yoshida Omakase May Be Opening in the Former Cornish Pasty Co. Space in Boston's Back Bay

It looks like a new Japanese restaurant could be opening in the Back Bay of Boston, and it would be taking over the space where a British-style spot had been.

According to a Boston licensing hearing board page, a new dining spot whose parent company is called Yoshida Omakase, LLC, is seeking to acquire the liquor license from the now-closed Cornish Pasty Co., and it would be operating within that Massachusetts Avenue space. The manager listed for the proposed restaurant is Gabrielle Morriseau, who may be the same person who has been involved with Craft and CruCraft, a wine shop in Milton, and JP Seafood Cafe, a Korean and Japanese restaurant in Jamaica Plain, though we are still trying to confirm this; we are also trying to confirm whether the dining spot would indeed be called Yoshida Omakase, so keep checking back for updates.

Cornish Pasty Co., which first opened in 2016, was known for its meat and vegetarian/vegan pasty options.

The address for the proposed Yoshida Omakase is 51 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA, 02115.
