It looks like a South Shore restaurant and bar may be shutting down, as new development could be coming to the space.
According to an article from the Weymouth News and Wicked Local, the Main Street Grille in South Weymouth could be closing its doors, as co-owner Chris DiMambro is planning to tear down the building in which it resides along with four other structures at the site, using the five lots to build a new structure with 153 residential units, commercial space, and parking spaces. The post indicates that DiMambro may decide to open a new restaurant on the first floor of the five-story building, though this is apparently not written in stone as of yet, and the zoning board of appeals has held a meeting on the building proposal which will be continued on June 27, while the conservation commission will also need to give its approval because of wetlands which are located in the back.
The Main Street Grille is a neighborhood tavern that offers mostly pub grub and classic American fare along with beer, wine, and cocktails.
The address for the Main Street Grille is 1400 Main Street, Weymouth, MA, 02190.

Milk & Honey Green Grocer in Salem Is Closing
by Marc Hurwitz
A neighborhood grocery store on the North Shore that focuses on sustainability is shutting down.
According to a Facebook post from the place, Milk & Honey Green Grocer in Salem is closing its doors around the end of July, with owner Sharon Driscoll saying that "Due to staffing issues, rising costs, external challenges and my unwillingness to compromise on quality and sustainability, I can no longer run Milk and Honey as I originally dreamed back in 2010." The post goes on to say that the Church Street shop will try to go about business as usual through June, then scale back operations next month with an exact closing date being announced at some point.
Milk & Honey Green Grocer is known in part for its salads, sandwiches, prepared foods, and grocery items with a focus on locally-sourced foods and the use of small-scale distributors.
The address for this soon-to-close market in Salem is: Milk & Honey Green Grocer, 32 Church Street, Salem, MA, 01970. Its website can be found at http://milkandhoneysalem.com/
[June 24 update: A new Facebook post mentions that Milk & Honey Green Grocer plans to close at the end of business hours on July 27.]
[July 22 update: A Facebook post from the place indicates that Milk & Honey Green Grocer actually ended up closing this past Friday.]

Soleil Opens in Roxbury's Dudley Square
by Marc Hurwitz
A new restaurant with Southern influences is in the process of opening where a location of a burger spot had been.
According to an article from The Bay State Banner, Soleil has soft-opened in the Dudley Square section of Roxbury, with owner Cheryl Straughter and her team adjusting the menu and refining the workflow during the soft launch of the restaurant, which is located inside the historic Bolling Building. As hinted at in an earlier article here, Soleil isn't specifically a Southern restaurant, but more "a Southern thing with a twist," according to Straughter, with items such as oven-roasted carrots with a honey glaze, collard greens with kale, fried chicken, and grilled salmon being a few of the offerings. It is not known if/when the dining spot might have a grand opening event, so stay tuned for updates.
The Dudley Square location of Tasty Burger shut down in January after being in business for a bit less than two years.

It looks like a casual upscale suburban Italian restaurant has become home to a new Italian dining spot.
According to a message from Richard Auffrey of The Passionate Foodie, Ristorante Pavarotti in Reading has become Zucca Italian Restaurant, with social media posts from both the former and the latter confirming this. The Facebook page from Zucca displays the menu for the new Main Street eatery, showing such offerings as an antipasto, sauteed baby octopus, house-made gnocchi and ravioli, mushroom and spinach risotto, frutti di mare, chicken marsala, veal piccata, and more.
Ristorante Pavarotti had been in business for approximately 10 years.
The address for the now-closed Ristorante Pavarotti (and the new Zucca Italian Restaurant) is 601 Main Street, Reading, MA, 01867.
