The Boston Licensing Board decides Thursday whether to grant a license to a proposed outlet of a French Italian-style gelato chain on Newbury Street.
Amorino, 249 Newbury St., off Fairfield, would be the company's third eatery in the US - and its first in Boston. According to its philosophy, Amorino uses only the eggs of free-range chickens and "the highest-grade whole milk" in its hand-churned
Manager Lea Sasportes said that in addition to gelato, Amorino will sell other sweets and coffee.
Both the mayor's office and at-large City Councilor Ayanna Pressley supported the proposal today.

So weird...

I've lived in Boston for 2 years now but it still seems so weird & rediculous that a business would need to go before a licensing board to get a permit to open. Should it really be more complicated than lease space, get zoning approval for facilities, get business license, and get cleared by health inspector? The thought that a licensing board could say "Too many ice cream places on that block" seems ridiculous.
Don't get me started on liquor licenses...
Swoon!

that aren't all packed like sardine cans, and less severe delays. Screw the eurocrap and cupcakes.
Alright, cupcakes sound good.

I don't know the difference between French Italian and just Italian style gelato but I approve. I never really got in to froyo but gelato is awesome. If this becomes the new trend, then I'm all for it.
Actually...

Actually [adjusting glasses in a fussy way], it's Italian style gelato created by a French company, not a new style of gelato.
And it's outrageously good.

It's Italian style gelato created by a French company started by two Italians in Paris.

S before I moved from Newbury St a few years back I had on my block: Pinkberry, Smoothee King, Emack and Bolios and some other Froyo place ON MY SAME BLOCK and now this place is going right across the cross street. Fucking unbelivable.
