When you look up Boston, you will find many different things: Fenway Park, the Boston Marathon, and even that bar from Cheers! What you won’t find a whole lot of are rooftop restaurants and bars. It isn’t because these establishments aren’t popular. There are just a lot of factors to consider when opening a rooftop bar or restaurant.

Two new additions to the rooftop cuisine and bar scene will be opening during the upcoming months. After several delays due to COVID-19, the Blue Owl in Cambridge’s Central Square will be opening to the public this summer. The Blue Owl features a globally inspired menu, an outdoor patio, and a rooftop bar that seats 40.

Contessa, the second restaurant/bar rooftop experience, is opening in June at the Newbury hotel, slated for opening May 18. Major Food Group, which operates several restaurants in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Hong Kong, and Tel Aviv, is to thank for Contessa and all of Newbury’s food and drink options. Contessa will feature Italian cuisine to be enjoyed under a glass ceiling with retractable panels.

Contessa is coming to the Back Bay area at a crucial time in the rebuilding effort. The Back Bay restaurant scene was devastated by the pandemic, with many 2020 closures becoming permanent. For those that closed temporarily, they are beginning to reopen. A third of the state vaccinated, and outdoor dining is beginning to pick up, making it the opportune time for Contessa to open its doors.

Major Food Group has not released a specific menu for Contessa, only remarking that it will feature Italian cuisine. Italian seems to be a running theme in some of the more notable restaurants, like Carbone. Carbone is one restaurant that the group has expanded to multiple cities – New York City, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, and Miami. Contessa is a new experience that will be open for all-day dining and isn’t an aesthetic to be found anywhere else.

Now that Boston’s Back Bay area is beginning to spring to life again, with the newly refurbished Newbury hotel (with over 100 years of history) opening and Contessa on the rooftop, there is no better time to check out the real estate in the area.

If you are looking for a condo surrounded by cozy Boston charm, the Back Bay is ideal for you. Elevated has access to the premier listings in the area – from traditional red and brown brick exteriors to new construction condos. Call Elevated today to see what Boston’s Back Bay has to offer.

One of the most anticipated restaurant openings in the Boston Seaport happened on April 1 – The Nautilus Pier 4 is now open for business. The Nautilus Pier 4 is a sophisticated answer to the original Nantucket “island-cool” Nautilus locale. 

Residents of the area may note some favorites from the original Nautilus location, which has been popular since opening in 2014. The restaurant’s partner and beverage director, Clinton Terry, described the atmosphere as “ultra fine-dining” but done in “Hawaiian shirts and board shorts.” The new Nautilus-brand canned wine that sommelier Stephen Bowler and Napa Valley winemaker Sean Larken developed is a pinot noir rosé reflecting the restaurant’s casual elegance.

Several properties in the area have immediate access to this up-and-coming restaurant, including some of Boston's most notable luxury buildings located in the Seaport District.

• 50 Liberty: At the heart of Boston Harbor, 50 Liberty in the Seaport District is a 14-story, 120-unit building adjacent to 22 Liberty. 
• 22 Liberty: Adjacent to 50 Liberty, 22 Liberty is also a 14-story building with all glass façade and floor plans that range from studio to 3+ bedroom penthouses. 
• Echelon Seaport: Echelon Seaport is situated within the “Block M” development area and will consist of 733 luxury ownership and rental units across three towers. An additional 285 apartments will be located in the third tower. Experience the scenic Boston waterfront at Echelon Seaport Luxury Condos and Apartments. Luxury units at Echelon Seaport are available now ranging from $750K to $5 million, rentals from $2,500.
• St. Regis Residences: The St. Regis Residences will feature 114 luxury waterfront condos at the former home of Whiskey Priest and Atlantic Beer Garden. These residences will run from one bedroom to penthouse units.
• Pier 4: Pier 4 units are ready for move-in, and select units are available. The Pier 4 condos are surrounded on three sides, feature nine stories, and range from one to four-bedroom units.

The Nautilus Pier 4 menu is made up primarily of the small signature plates that the name is known for. Culinary director Liam Mackey and Executive Chef Stephen Marcaurelle have added Mediterranean influence to all the Asian-inspired accents.

The internal seating capacity of the restaurant is three times the original Nantucket location at 165 seats in the Jules Verne “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” aesthetic dining room. An additional 65 seats in the patio area are also available.

The 323-365 block of Dorchester Avenue could look different if the plans proposed by the National Development of Newton are accepted. If approved by the BPDA, the project developers could begin the 30-month construction process as early as July 2022. 

National Development hired multiple architectural and engineering teams to create a 21st-century complex. The development to pay homage to the industrial past and create a humane area complete with bike lanes, trees, grass lawns, and other amenities that will attract visitors even if they do not work or reside in the area.

The plan proposes two residential buildings that will offer 345 units total in two buildings on the 5.4-acre site. Dedicated lab space will also be built - taking up 358,550 square feet along with 285,550 square feet of working space for those workers.

The development plans also call for 55,150 square feet of ground-floor space for restaurants, retail, grocery, and other businesses. A below-ground garage space will be home to 670 parking spaces and 542 bicycle spaces.  Recent news has released that Castle Island Brewing has secured its spot within this up-and-coming development as well. The additional location now brings the Castle Island Brewing name to South Boston.

The space was designed to represent recreation in a post-COVID urban environment, making the outdoor areas versatile and create a type of “indoor/outdoor” type of experience, including a large atrium in the West Commercial building.

These residential units may become available in late 2024 or early 2025 for pre-purchasing. Elevated Boston will keep potential Dorchester Avenue residents up-to-date on all the information on the development.

Residents of The Two Eight Seven have another attraction to look forward to soon. Dubbed “Eastie Landing” and positioned near Pier 1 on the East Boston waterfront, it is a project to turn a ship into a fine dining experience.

Last year, NYHG approached Massport with the idea of docking the 242-foot steel hull Tall Ship to create a unique dining experience for Eastie residents. After docking the ship, efforts began to rehab and renovate it to accommodate three bars and a dining area.

The Jeffries Point Neighborhood Association (JPNA) has shown support of the Navy Yard Hospitality Group’s (NYHG) efforts to make Eastie Landing a reality – even approving the efforts to seek out liquor licensing. The grand opening was slated for last year, but due to COVID, that has been delayed.

The ship has a 4,500 square foot main deck that will house the three bars, with the stern bar being the primary location for fundraising events and other functions. The menu will feature Mediterranean fare and charcuterie, all coming from the galley kitchen.

To drive more business to the waterfront, NYHG plans on throwing featured events that include a family movie night and live concert stage. The group will also provide free water shuttling services for patrons as they do with their other restaurants along the waterfront.

If you haven’t laid your claim on one of the units left at The Two Eight Seven, which is located only four blocks from the East Boston waterfront, now is the time to take advantage. Eastie Landing is a one-of-a-kind experience that is sure to reinvigorate the area, meaning available living space won’t last long.
