As summer approaches, students, teachers, and tourists are looking for new adventures in this old city. There are countless new restaurants and opportunities to take advantage of as the weather warms up. Listed below are some exciting openings in Boston!

7th Street Burger

After opening on March 20, 7th Street Burger has been getting a lot of attention. The burger company had multiple locations in New York and has been compared to an “East Coast In-N-Out.” They recently opened two locations in Boston, one in Southie and one on Newbury Street. Customers have been lining up outside these locations to get their famous $7 burgers. If anyone can spare the half-hour wait, I highly recommend they visit these new and popular burger joints.

Blank Street – Prudential Center

Any East Coast local knows about Blank Street, but do customers know their new location in Boston?

They have opened a bigger store in the Prudential Center. The company recently had a soft launch on April 10, and the doors are now officially open to all customers. Every matcha and coffee lover will highly enjoy visiting this new location for more open space (compared to their smaller locations) and the opportunity to try amazing drinks.

The Peach Cobbler Factory

Although there are many native East Coast restaurants and stores, this new dessert shop will have customers wanting to return to the South. Originally from Nashville, this popular dessert chain will be popping up in Boston this month. They have never-ending options, including cheesecake, peach cobbler, churros, cinnamon rolls, and more. They plan to open in the heart of downtown, with the exact date yet to be announced. 

Uniqlo

This clothing brand needs no introduction. It can be found all over the world, but surprisingly only has one location in Boston on Newbury Street. This is exactly why I am excited to share the opening of a store in Downtown Crossing! It is located at 399 Washington Street after opening on April 10. Customers might want to rush over to find their new opening deals and sales before they are all gone. 

Beyond Proof

Boston also got a very exciting opening on April 7 with Beyond Proof. This restaurant can be found in Jamaica Plain on Centre Street, and it is well known as a completely alcohol free restaurant and bar. The location offers countless mocktails and other alcohol-free drinks along with Mediterranean-style food. This new opening could represent a shift in Boston restaurants, but it is also just an incredibly fun and interesting experience to try on a night out. 

If anyone is interested in a new experience while in Boston, I highly recommend trying any one of these new openings. Even if they are not your style, Boston has endless options for new restaurants, stores, and experiences. This list is just a small peek into all the culture and options Boston has to offer.

This summer, Boston promises something new every day.
