The Boston Licensing Board decides Thursday whether to grant a full liquor license to the sushi restaurant Michael Shaw wants to open where Salsa's used to be on Dorchester St.
At a hearing this morning, Shaw's attorney, Michael Brangwynne, said Shaw - noted for his work at the nearby Loco Taqueria - is planning "a first quality, full-service sushi restaurant and bar area" for the space at 118 Dorchester St.
Shaw, who lives in South Boston, said the Perkins Square Restaurant could be open 12 weeks after he receives city OKs.
The mayor's office and the offices of City Councilors Michael Flaherty and Michelle Wu supported the license request.

That's what fishing for sushi fish provides.
Except that post-1900 southie residents would look down their nose at fishermen.

P.S. There is already a sushi place on East Broadway
Also, Seaport

For those who consider it part of "South Boston", there's a sushi place on Seaport Boulevard in the Watermark. (a.k.a., Fort Pt Seaport Parking Lot District)

Those of us who consider the Seaport part of South Boston. Who are you referring to? The federal and state government? Cartographers? Anybody that can read a map? South Boston established 1696, the borders are not up for consideration.
Regardless of what the map and parking passes say
By zetag
Wed, 01/11/2017 - 12:43pm
it is very easy to argue that the Seaport and South Boston are two different neighborhoods. There is no continuity between the two and you can easily determine boundaries for both. Nobody that I know in Boston would say "I'm going to southie for dinner" when they were heading to anywhere on the waterfront.
Borders? 1696?

A lot of Southie today was dumped into the harbor since then - the "borders" were not established back then - lots of fill since. Nice try, though.

not my thing. i don't wear track suits.
but i will be rooting for the texans because every time there is a cheat-triots playoff game the quality of life in the city drops. I care about my neighbors and don't want them to have to deal with a bunch of rowdy sports fans. especially the elderly ones and the ones with families.
for their sake hopefully the patsies get eliminated this weekend.

City Point -- five years ago. It's pretty good, though I tend to favor the Korean dishes there.
Triple O's successor Slainte in the Lower End gave way to sushi joint Owl Station five years ago, too, though that has since been replaced by The Maiden (which I really like).

dear old Southie's ruination. Let's just get the markers right. Serving sushi hasn't been edgy even in our most hallowed blue-collar enclaves since about the time Clueless was in theaters. I work with plenty of general contractors who prefer Starbucks to Dunks. The City Point Stop and Shop has been carrying kale since the time it was Flanagan's.
The old Southie community has bigger problems than the threat of a doggie bakery moving onto the block. You want to worry about their prospects, focus on the opioid epidemic, not gentrification. Oxy is gutting far more families that have lived there for generations than rising rents or squabbles over street parking.
