Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!
For those of us who are still wary of venturing out too far to try some of the area’s best food, it is good to know that Time Out Market Boston is reopen and has more than enough to offer!
With more than 23,000 square feet of high-ceilinged floor space in the historic Sears Building at the end of the Fenway neighborhood, an additional 6,000 square feet of patio space, multiple bars and more great food than we can fit in one segment, Time Out is a great place to try a sanitized and socially-distanced smorgasbord of Boston’s best. With DoorDash deliveries and its own app, it is easy to order ahead so you can get in, get out, and enjoy in the space of your choosing. And bartender Nicole Brown has been donating her handmade masks and selling them to raise funds for Covid relief.
In addition to Brown, Time Out boasts such other proper Bostonians as Michael Schlow, who has brought his Monti Roman Pizzeria to the space. There are also outstanding outposts for Cusser’s Roast Beef and Seafood, Revolution Health Kitchen and Bisq, and Union Square Donuts has even brought along the North Shore’s Atomic Coffee Roasters.
What may be the most encouraging story, however, is the team behind neighborhood-supporters (and Connoisseur’s Corner faves) anoush’ella has not only survived but have expanded and are bringing their new concept, Nu Burger, to Time Out as the first participant in the market’s incubator series. At her new place, Chef Nina Festekjian is going beyond her native Lebanon to explore international takes on the all-American burger, including a cauliflower burger that is burning up Instagram and pleasantly stuffing many veggie fans.
While the Boston food scene is still thankfully too big to fit under one roof, Time Out Boston makes a solid effort that is worth exploring!
