Casa Tua Cucina, Estiatorio Milos Among the New Businesses Coming to the Neiman Marcus Space at Copley Place in Boston

The Boston location of a chain of upscale department stores is closing, and now we have learned that a couple of options for food will be among the new places coming to the space.

According to an article within the boston.com website, Casa Tua Cucina and Estiatorio Milos are planning to open within the Neiman Marcus space at Copley Place in the Back Bay, with the former being a location of a group of high-end Italian marketplaces that was first established in Miami in 2001, while the latter will be a location of a group of Greek seafood restaurants that got its start in Montreal in 1979. It appears that construction on the space (which will also include multiple luxury boutiques) will start later this year, with phased openings taking place in 2028.

The Copley Place location of Neiman Marcus first opened in 1984; its parent company (Saks Global) filed for bankruptcy last month.

Neiman Marcus at Copley Place in Boston Plans to Open Two Lounges Within Its Space

It looks like the Boston location of a luxury retail chain will soon include a couple of places to grab a drink.

According to an article from Universal Hub, Neiman Marcus at Copley Place in the Back Bay is planning to add two lounges to its space, with one on the first floor having four seats and one on the second floor having six seats The post mentions that the two lounges will be tucked into the interior of the store away from the entrances/exits and that, according to store attorney Tyler Henseler, they will not turn into havens for "college-age kids or other rowdy customers causing any kind of disturbance."

UH mentions that the Copley Place location of Neiman Marcus once had its own restaurant in the 1980s.

Yard House Is Opening in Champions Space within the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel in Boston

It looks like a chain of casual upscale restaurants known for their beer options will be opening a second location within the Boston city limits, and it would be taking over a sports bar within a hotel.

According to a licensing board hearing page, Yard House is seeking a license to operate in what is described as the "former location" of Champions at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel, with the license coming from the Beacon St. Locale, a Back Bay restaurant and bar that closed down in 2018. If approved, the new location of Yard House would join others locally in the Fenway, Burlington, Dedham, and Lynnfield.

Champions had been temporarily closed during the pandemic, with its last Facebook post going up on March 10, 2020, just as the coronavirus outbreak was taking hold.

The address for the new location of Yard House at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel is 110 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for the chain can be found at https://www.yardhouse.com/home while the web page for the hotel is at https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/bosco-boston-marriott-copley-place/

[September 26 update: The locations page for the place indicates that Yard House is opening at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel on October 4.]

Freds at Barneys New York Plans to Open at Copley Place in Boston

It looks like an iconic department store restaurant that is based in New York will be making its way to Boston.

According to an article from CNBC, Freds at Barneys New York is planning to open at Copley Place in the Back Bay, with the restaurant joining five other locations including two in Manhattan. The dining spot dates back to the 1920s when a counter-service eatery opened in the original Barneys location on Seventh Avenue, and today it features mostly American and Italian fare in an upscale environment. If all goes as planned, the new location of Freds at Barneys New York at Copley Place will open in October, and it will feature a "much larger bar space" that will serve as a "focal point" according to CNBC.

The website for Freds can be found at https://www.barneys.com/restaurants/freds

[October 22 update: It looks like Freds at Barneys New York will not be coming to Boston after all, as Universal Hub states (via ABC 7) that all locations of Barneys will be closing (including the Boston outlet) in the wake of a bankruptcy filing by the chain of department stores.]
