Molly Moo's Ice Cream & Cafe in South Boston Moving from L Street to Carson Beach

An ice cream shop and cafe in South Boston is closing its current location, though it will be reopening in a beachside space.

Caught in Southie is reporting that Molly Moo's Ice Cream & Cafe is leaving its L Street location, with the plan being to reopen at Carson Beach. A tweet from @chipsy231 indicates that Molly Moo's is opening at the McCormack Bathhouse, which indicates that it may be taking over the concession stand that had been home to the Seaside Cafe.

It is not yet known when Molly Moo's might be leaving its current home, though it looks like the new location could be opening by June--and it will be featuring burgers, hot dogs, snacks, and ice cream, according to Caught in Southie.

The owner of Molly Moo's also runs Molly's Farmhouse Coffee on Preble Street in Andrew Square.

A new Twitter post from @chipsy231 indicates that  Molly Moo's is now open at the McCormack Bathhouse at Carson Beach.]

Update: Barbecue Stand May Still Be in the Works for Former Restroom at Salem Willows

Earlier this year, we reported that a new barbecue place might open at the site of an old restroom at Salem Willows in Salem, but that plan has since fallen through. However, a BBQ stand may still be coming to the spot, depending on what the city thinks of a proposal from the person behind a local caterer.

According to The Salem News, the person behind Honky's Barbecue is apparently looking at the Salem Willows space, which had originally been a men's bathroom and was being looked at several months ago by the food service company Endless Summer Grilling of Swampscott as a spot to open a barbecue stand. The person who runs Honky's Barbecue still needs approval from the city of Salem for any proposal he makes, with the Salem News article mentioning that proposals for the spot are due by January 19.

Barbecue Joint Proposed for Former Restroom at Salem Willows

If all goes as planned, a new barbecue place may open in Salem, and the space being looked at is an unusual one, indeed.

According to the Salem News, food service company Endless Summer Grilling of Swampscott has submitted plans to open a barbecue joint on the site of an old restroom at Salem Willows, a waterside park east of the city center. The article states that the owner of Endless Summer Grilling, who used to be executive chef at the now-closed Pho Republique in the South End of Boston, is hoping to have a concession stand that features items such as pulled pork, ribs, and chicken, with a Caribbean influence.

The building in which the concession stand would be housed was formerly a men's bathroom, according to the Salem News (the men's bathroom and women's bathroom now share a single building). The article also mentions that about 600 square feet of deck space next to the proposed concession stand could possibly be developed for seating, such as picnic tables.

If the proposal gets approved, the owner of Endless Summer Grilling says that the barbecue stand could be open sometime this year.

[December 29 update: Plans have fallen through for the owner of Endless Summer Grilling to open a BBQ joint at Salem Willows, but according to The Salem News, the person behind the caterer Honky's Barbecue is apparently looking at the site, so a barbecue spot could still be in the works for the former rest room here.]
