Nothing official has been announced, but it appears that a Franklin Cafe will occupy the new ground floor restaurant space at Allele South Boston. Various names have been floating around this development for quite some time, including a Jae’s Cafe, and Tapeo.
The West Broadway Neighborhood Association recently reported that the Franklin Cafe’s request to acquire an alcohol license with a 2 am closing hour was approved.
Residents at the surrounding condo developments continue to enjoy commercial buildout of their neighborhood, hardening property values by bringing further amenities to bear. Sources state that the buildout of the gourmet market on the ground floor retail space of Court Square Press will begin shortly as well.
