The Cut Opens in Gloucester on November 20

A brand new place for food, drink, live music, and more is getting ready to open on the North Shore.

According to a press release, The Cut is slated to open in Gloucester on November 20, with a ribbon cutting for the Main Street spot taking place that day. The new place, which gets its name from the nickname for the Blynman Bridge that spans the channel between the city's Outer Harbor and the Annisquam River, will include a restaurant and bar with seating for 180, an entertainment venue with seating for 300 (and general admission for 500 total), and rehearsal and recording studio space--and the entertainment area will be used for local, regional, and national music acts, with an earlier Gloucester Times article also mentioning its being used for comedy and film.

The address for The Cut is 177 Main Street, Gloucester, MA, 01930. Its website will be at https://thecutlive.com/

The Studio Kitchen in Kingston Is Looking to Move to Las Vegas

An interactive cooking show and dining spot on the South Shore is planning to be reborn on the other side of the country.

According to an article from WCVB 5, The Studio Kitchen at The Kingston Collection in Kingston is hoping to move to Las Vegas, with owner Jim Cafarelli saying that the pandemic--which led to the closure of the shared Studio Kitchen/Bar Rustic space late last summer--is the reasoning behind the proposed move, stating that "COVID is, in my opinion, like the final nail in the coffin." Cafarelli and his son are currently looking to raise money for the rebirth of the business, mentioning that it is "Not a hard decision....You get to the point where you don't even know where the bottom is, so you have a decision to make: How deep do I want to go in debt? Once you remove the emotion from the decision, it's pretty clear what you need to do" while also saying that Las Vegas will open back up more quickly than much of the rest of the country and that the cooking/entertainment concept of The Studio Kitchen would fit in very well in Vegas.

In addition to The Studio Kitchen and Bar Rustic, Cafarelli was also behind Rustic Kitchen in Hingham, which closed toward the end of 2019.
