Financial District to get micro-food hall
By adamg on Wed, 06/26/2024 - 1:59pm
The Boston Licensing Board today approved plans for a three-stall food hall-ette where a Starbucks used to be at 45 Broad St. downtown.
The Eatery on Broad will feature three food "concepts" - Mini Donut Diva, Pasta Factory and Fat Sandwich Boss, which will share 18 seats but which will rely heavily on take-out business, manager Taher Ali told the board. He said the three options were chosen not to really compete with each other but to instead supply as much of a "sweet and savory" food spectrum as one can fit into a 1,500-square-foot space.
Ali said there is "plenty of space" next to and near the space to allow for quick parking by food-delivery operators in cars and on scooters to get in and out without creating the sort of sidewalk and parking gridlock seen in front of some other take-out places in the city.

How about a discount food
How about a discount food store? All the affordable housing that's gonna be made with big tax breaks and construction loans to conversion developers is going to create a need for cheap food markets, hair, salons, liquor stores, and smoke shops.
Don't worry
All that housing will end up going to the well- connected who don't need any discounts on food.
There is no “need” …
… for smoke shops.
Perhaps you were being snarky.
Food Hall
Let me guess, Howie Carr told you that? Old hateful dinosaur.
Well I'll be.
I was all prepared to scoff at the claim of "plenty of space" for vehicles to do quick deliveries and pick-ups, but lo and behold, it really does look like an ideal location. I hope they can make a go of it, despite the downtown downturn.

I can’t think of a bigger waste of space than a downtown surface parking lot.
I can.
A high rise parking garage.
At least with surface parking lots some light, air and the illusion of open space still remains to some extent.
If you're going to commit
If you're going to commit square footage to car storage, you may as well cram as many cars onto that space as possible.
