Boston on the Go - a Bostonian guide to keeping yourself busy and in the know. Ideas on things to do, places to shop & dine, and what to talk about when you're out and about in the Boston area.
A new joint has already filled the old EVOO location in Somerville. Bergamot, a progressive American cuisine restaurant, is soon to be opening up.
The menu is not up yet, but for pictures, check out the restaurant's Facebook page. I noticed that they are testing an oxtail ragout with potato gnocchi (yum) and they are going to be open for brunch on Sundays. For more information as it comes, click here. Bergamot will open up at 118 Beacon Street, Somerville.

Recently opened downtown on Devonshire St (next to the closed Grassroots Deli location), is Boston Wine Exchange.
If seeing the beautiful shelves of wine and liquor and refrigerators of beer isn't enough to entice you, maybe their tasting events and wine tasting machine will do the trick.
The hours are convenient, but seem to be tailored to the downtown area office schedules (Mon-Sat 9 to 9, Sun 12 noon to 6). And to make the store even more convenient, there is curbside pickup and delivery options available!
All that's left is convincing work to do beer Fridays!

Some of us may have known it as the small Tibetan restaurant or the recent home to the Holland Street Cafe, but there is a new place is in town - Istanbul'lu.
The new Turkish cafe is going to be offering Turkish food and other delights. No word on when the new spot will open, but signs are going up in the window, so hopefully soon. Istanbul'lu is located right next to PJ O'Ryans at 237 Holland St. in Somerville.
