The owner cites "very serious health issues" in her Facebook announcement, which is worth reading in full.

(in this earlier post, she mentions both ALS and chronic Lyme disease.)

Commonwealth's "Chef Nookie" taking over former Subway space

I had missed this news, but Eater reports that the owner/chef of Commonwealth, Steve "Nookie" Postal, has signed a lease to take over the former Subway on Elm St. and create a new restaurant. He hasn't announced what it is yet, but I really like what he's done with the Commonwealth space, so this is awesome news.

Davis Square Donuts & Bagels will not open

Eater.com reports that "Plans for Davis Square Donuts and Bagels have been scrapped and the space appears to be up for lease with items in the store covered in plastic wrap." The shop was supposed to open in the Community Credit Union building, next to the Rosebud.

Survey/suggestion: buffalo chicken sub/wrap?

This is a completely frivolous question, but I'm curious if anyone has an opinion on who makes the best buffalo chicken wrap (or sub) in the Davis and surrounding areas. I'm frequently craving one, and haven't been satisfied with places I've tried lately. Cambridge House of Pizza (on Mass Ave) did an okay one but the quality lately has really slid (last time they gave me BBQ sauce with it instead of buffalo sauce!). Christo's uses grilled chicken, which is healthier, but doesn't satisfy the way a fried chicken cutlet would.

So, anyone have a suggestion/recommendation?

Thanks!

Oat Shop Coming to Davis Square

In what sounds a bit like a hipster joke, a restaurant that specializes in oatmeal is scheduled to open this fall in an undisclosed Davis Sq. location.

Poke in Davis Square?!?

A friend just showed me this Boston Eater article about a small poke chain, Pokeworks, coming to Davis Square. The writer says,"Pokeworks, a small poke chain with locations open or coming soon in California, New York, and Seattle, is expanding to Somerville's Davis Square." Looks like it's going next to the old Yumi Hot Pot location.

Oath Pizza

I ate at Oath Craft Pizza today (corner of Day and Elm Streets) and was seriously underwhelmed. They were very stingy with the toppings and they lost my order, which undid the "fast" element of the experience. I'll chalk it up to first-week jitters and try again later but am wondering if anyone else has an experience they'd like to share?

Mint Indian Eatery is now open at 868 Broadway in Somerville

Hey, Everyone! A couple of nights ago, I walked past Mint Indian Eatery on Broadway near Powderhouse, and I noticed that they were open!

I decided to try the place tonight and, over all, I really enjoyed the experience! Sadly, several items I wanted to try weren't available yet, but I'm told the full menu should be available soon.

I ended up trying the mango lassi, the veg pakoras and the samosa chaat. Here's my takeaway:
( Details under the cut! )

Teriyaki House is becoming Mint Indian Eatery

I just saw a sign on Teriyaki House (on Broadway near Powderhouse; used to be Doo Wee & Rice, and East Asia before that) saying "closed during transition" and "Mint Indian Eatery". I will miss their marinated rice plates, bao baos, and crispy chicken hearts! Anyone know anything about the new place?

Opa! Greek Yeeros is open

They just opened today in the former Kickass Cupcakes space. I stopped by this afternoon; they have a choice of chicken, pork, or beef/lamb gyros (or "yeeros" as they call them), salads, kebabs, hummus, soups, and spanakopita. They also make their own yogurt -- I got a cup of the stuff topped with Greek honey and fresh figs, and it was rich and very tasty. Their menu, hours, etc are here.

Verna's seized?

A little outside Davis, but Verna's donuts on Mass Ave has big orange stickers on the doors declaring it seized by the constable. Any one know any details? What does it mean to be seized?

Dunkin Donuts will return to 240 Elm Street

A permit, issued yesterday and posted on the door, says "DUNKIN DONUTS TENANT IMPROVEMENT."

Looks like the DD entrance will be at the east end of the building, next to Buffalo Exchange, while the supermarket entrance will be at the corner of Chester and Elm. I believe the plan is still to have an openable partition between the Dunks and the grocery store, so that they can keep different hours if desired.

(We still don't know who the supermarket will be.)
