Drink
Boston's Fort Point scene is finally on the upswing. We've seen Persephone, part of the Achilles Project, offer an interesting intersection of high fashion, food and entertainment, and of course Flour opened its second location providing a bit of a cafe scene to the industrial loft neighborhood. And for a while, there were rumors that star chef and restaurant owner Barbara Lynch (No.9 Park, B&G Oysters, The Butcher Shop, Stir) had a few new projects brewing to add to her already grand repertoire.
Well, her first Fort Point undertaking is finally just about here, and it's called Drink. Targeting a September opening date, Drink is, as the name implies, a bar that will serve-up some old-time classics, in vintage glassware, and in a communal setting. She plans to have a menu of small tidbits that she says is "my take on the 1950s but modern and molecular, from foie gras lollipops to salt beignets that go great with martinis," according to the Boston Globe. I am so down.
I'll be sure to post a review when I get the chance to give Drink a try this fall.

Thanks for coming by, George. I've been a fan of Flour for years - the original is down the street from me in the S End - and glad to hear you enjoy the Ft Point location! I lived in Ft Point for 3 years and finally it's coming to life! Enjoy!

Hey Kate! The lunchtime fare at Flour is awesome! Expensive, but really tasty. When you decide to visit Drink, give me a buzz. My office is next door to Persephone.
