Grace by Nia Opens in Boston's Seaport District on May 11

More than a year after its plans were first announced, it looks like a new restaurant, bar, and live music venue is just about ready to open along the Boston waterfront.

According to an article from Eater Boston, Grace by Nia is slated to open on Thursday, May 11 in the Seaport District, with the place being a "supper club" that is a partnership between Nia Grace (Darryl’s in the South End) and Big Night (a hospitality group that runs such spots as The Grand, Empire, Scorpion Bar, Red Lantern, and Mystique). Eater mentions that the new 5,000-square-foot venue will offer Southern-style food and New England-style seafood options while beer, wine, and cocktails will be available, and local acts will be on the bill there, including jazz, funk, and R&B/soul acts.

The address for Grace by Nia is 60 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, MA, 02210. Its website can be found at https://www.gracebynia.com/

Yvonne's Is Opening in Former Locke-Ober Space in Boston

More than two years after it closed--and a year after an announcement was due to come on its space--it now looks like a landmark downtown Boston restaurant will be replaced by a new eatery that will pay homage to it.

Boston Magazine is reporting that Yvonne's is looking to open in the former Locke-Ober space on Winter Street, with Chris Jamison of Lolita Cocina in the Back Bay and business partner Mark Malatesta being behind it. The article says Yvonne's will be a "modern supper club" that includes a library bar and dishes that honor Locke-Ober, such as an Argentine flank-steak matambre (a rolled stuffed steak). The kitchen will be headed up by Juan Pedrosa of Glenville Stops in Allston and Tom Berry of Nantucket's Proprietors, while cut-glass cocktail towers for the bar will be coming from Palmer Matthews of Drink in the city's Fort Point neighborhood.

[September 28 update: Eater Boston states that Yvonne's officially opens today.]

Locke-Ober first opened its doors back in 1875.

The address for this upcoming restaurant in downtown Boston is: Yvonne's, 3 Winter Place, Boston, MA, 02108.
