A small chain of wing places that got its start in Massachusetts has closed one of its Boston-area locations.
According to a Facebook post from Boston-based editor and DJ Michael Marotta, Wings Over Brookline is no longer in operation, with the place saying that the closure was "due to circumstances outside of our control." The chain refers customers to its Boston and Somerville locations, while other outlets in the region include shops in Framingham, Lowell, and Worcester.
Wings Over, which first started out in Amherst in 1999, features regular and boneless wings with a variety of sauce options.
The address for the now-closed Wings Over Brookline was 477 Harvard Sreet, Brookline, MA 02446. The website for the chain can be found at http://wingsover.com/

La Galleria 33 in Boston's North End Has Closed; Exact Status Unknown
by Marc Hurwitz
A North End restaurant that was once featured on a reality TV series has shut down, and it is not yet know what might become of the space.
According to a tweet from @ConciergeBoston, La Galleria 33 on Salem Street is closed, though no note has been posted out front and there is no apparent indication as to its exact status on its website or across social media. The restaurant had been shown on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in the fall of 2012, with the show's focus being on helping revive troubled restaurants across the country, including La Galleria 33. (Ramsay had also visited the now-closed Davide on nearby Commercial Street in 2010, with that episode being shown in early 2011.)
As soon as we find out exactly why La Galleria 33 closed, we will post an update here.
The address for La Galleria 33 is 125 Salem Street, Boston, MA, 02113.
[November 8 update: Based on a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, it appears that a new dining spot may be taking over the space occupied by La Galleria 33, as the notice mentions that the now-closed restaurant's license is looking to be transferred to Piarosa Group, Inc. The notice also says that Shannon MacGowan is listed as manager--and this seems to be the same Shannon MacGowan who is slated to be manager of the upcoming Forcella, which is taking over the former Carmen space at North Square.]

Ohlin's Bakery Will Not Be Reopening
by Marc Hurwitz
A century-old bakery that was hit by a fire a couple of years ago has decided to call it a day.
According to a Facebook post from the place, Ohlin's Bakery will not be opening back up, with the note saying that they are now in the process of refunding the money of those who donated to a GoFundMe page that had been set up for the business. The bakery, which first opened in 1915 and was known in part for its donuts, was forced to close its Belmont shop in early 2016 after an oven explosion damaged the place. The people behind Ohlin's had been looking at new locations in communities such as Belmont, Arlington, Cambridge, and Watertown, but many of the spaces they found were too small for what they needed.
The address for Ohlin's Bakery was 456 Common Street, Belmont, MA, 02478.

Karaoke Bar May Be Coming to Patron's Space in Allston
by Marc Hurwitz
A new spot featuring karaoke could be opening in Allston, and it would be taking over the space where a Mexican restaurant had been.
Universal Hub is reporting that the person behind Limelight Stage + Studios by Boston Common is planning to open a similar karaoke bar in the former Patron's space on Brighton Avenue in Allston Village. The article says that the proposed place, which does not yet have a name, has the support of the mayor's office, a local city counselor, and the Allston Civic Association, but while they did receive approval for a variance from the zoning board for karaoke, they still need approval of licenses for food and alcohol from the licensing board. Owner Henry Wong mentions through his attorney that a stage would need to be added to the space, with this being the main change to the space.
Patron's and the Sunset Grill & Tap downstairs both closed toward the end of last year, several months after their parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The address for this proposed karaoke bar would be 138 Brighton Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134.
[February 6, 2019 update: According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, the name of the company opening the karaoke bar in the former Patron's space is Stage Karaoke, LLC, and while the DBA is missing from the notice, it looks like the name of the place could also be called Stage Karaoke. (The hearing is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, February 13, so more should be known by late next week.)]

by Marc Hurwitz
It looks like a new shop featuring bubble tea is on its way to the northwest suburbs.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page and another post on the Support Arlington Facebook group page, Bubble Nation is opening in Arlington Center, with the address given indicating that it is moving into the space on Mass.

The address for Bubble Nation is 456A Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, 02474. Its website can be found at https://www.bubblenation.us/
