Two New Businesses in Magoun Square!

[courtney o'keefe]

Hello Davis Square Friends,

I just wanted to let you know that King of Wings and Penny Packers are coming to Magoun Square this summer!

King of Wings is located at 514 Medford Street and Penny Packers is located at 514C (both spaces were the former location of Basil Tree Catering). I wasn't able to locate phone numbers for either.

King of Wings does have a Facebook Page featuring their menu and price range (maximum of $10), but their website isn't up yet. I thought I saw some people in there the other night, but am not sure. Their Facebook is WWW.Facebook.Com/Pages/King-of-Wings-Boston/259436317520437. Should this not work, a quick search brings them right up.

Penny Packers is starting some construction and will feature 10 seats when they open this summer. They have a Twitter account that you can follow: @PennyPackers and have two food trucks that they operate in Boston. Their website is http://www.pennypackersfoodtruck.com.

Magoun Square is only a hop, skip and a jump away from Davis and, once the Community Path Extension is finished, you can take it right up to Lowell Street and on to Magoun.

What kind of food does Penny Packers offer? (Just curious)

[courtney o'keefe (from livejournal.com)]

Soup and salad, sandwiches (the grilled chicken sounds amazing), sides and drinks. Here is the link to their menu: http://www.pennypackersfoodtruck.com/menu

That looks pretty darned AWESOME, actually. Pork belly banh mi! Bacon, fig jam, and chevre! Chickpea and wheat berry salad! This is relevant to my interests...

I agree. This is relevant to my tummy! I hope they open soon. :)

My husband works near their #1 truck and eats there all the time. He says it's fabulous! And porky.

If either of these businesses have a web site or a Facebook page, can you edit your post to link to them? Thanks.

All set, Ron.

Sounds pretty good! Medford Street has a whole string of good places to eat, actually: Olde Magoun Saloon is a lot of fun, Daddy Jones is essentially an upscale Greek diner with superb brunch in particular, and Caprese is a pretty good sandwiches-and-pizza kind of place.

This is the truth. Plus, we just had a market open that offers fresh meats and staple grocery items. Oh, and we just had a beer and wine store open too. My life rules and so does the Ward I represent.

You mean Modelo? I just moved to the Magoun area and shop there two or three times a week. Can't recommend it enough, honestly; the prices are good and the meat and produce are fresh.

Also a big fan of K-2. Really good beer and wine selection.

Yes! Both owners constantly ask the residents what they want carried in the stores, so they always have what we need. Welcome to Magoun! I'm your Alderman, Courtney O'Keefe.

Nice to meet you! Well, send text to you through a digital platform. Still.

[courtney o'keefe (from livejournal.com)]

Ha! Still.

Confirmed: King of Wings (514C Medford Street) is open and getting rave reviews from residents!
