Kyuramen Plans to Open in Brookline

A growing chain of ramen restaurants based in New York City is looking to expand to the Greater Boston area, with at least one location currently in the works.

According to Patrick Maguire of Maguire Promotions & Hospitality Consulting, Kyuramen is planning to open in Brookline, with a page within the town's website indicating that it will be moving into a space on Beacon Street just west of the Boston line. Based on the menu for its other locations, expect to see nine different types of ramen dishes, including such options as miso, tonkotsu, shoyu, curry, and kimchi ramen.

Kyuramen, which first started out in 2014, is headquartered in the Flushing section of Queens. 

The address for the upcoming location of Kyuramen in Brookline is 1006 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA, 02446. The website for the chain can be found at https://www.kyuramen.com/

News Elsewhere: Are "Babyccinos" Going to Be the Next Big Trend?

It looks like cafes and coffee spots in a borough of New York are now marketing their coffee drinks to a younger crowd these days--a much younger crowd.

According to The Brooklyn Paper and Zagat, Brooklyn is now in the middle of a "babyccinos" craze, with places serving up drinks for children that have a shot of decaf espresso mixed with frothy steamed milk and foam (and sometimes, a bit of cinnamon). The trend, which apparently started in Australia and caught on in England, seems to be particularly big in the hip and trendy coffee bars and cafes that can be found in such neighborhoods as Fort Greene, Park Slope, and Prospect Heights, including Sit and Wonder, Bittersweet, Cafe Regular, The Tea Lounge, and other spots.

The babyccino craze does not seem to have caught on in the Boston area as of yet.

For more information on the increase in popularity of babyccinos in Brooklyn, please go to the Brooklyn Paper and Zagat links below.
