. . . . MINORS DO NOT INTERACT . . . .
Zhongli's gloved hand came down to your ass harshly for the 18th time tonight, making you bite his thigh in pain. He only chuckled darkly at your feeble attempt of hurting him. His hand slowly smoothes down the skin of your ass, the plump flesh jiggling in his big hand as he admires the reddish tint his brutal hits left behind. The handprints evident on your plump behind. You did not want to give him the satisfaction of seeing your tears but fucking god did it hurt.
Your muffled cry could be heard when his hand came down on your ass again, the impact stinging even more this time. He shushed your pitiful noises with a mocking smirk, making the tears in your lashline finally fall down your swollen cheeks. "Does it hurt, darling?" He asked with faux sympathy, making you even more enraged. You wanted to scream at him, pull on his hair for ruining your life like this. But you stayed silent, clutching onto him for dear life as he hummed. "Just one more to go, my love. Your punishment will be over soon enough." You grit your teeth in anger. Punishment for what? Trying to escape from this hellhole of a prison he has kept you in? Tears flowed freely down your chin in frustration, soaking his pants. You hated him. Despised this man who took you away from your family, from your normal life. But you hated the fact that you were aroused right now. Aroused from being forcibly bent over his knee and hit by none other than your captor. You felt the shame burn in your tear soaked cheeks, which only made the bulge pressing into your lower tummy harder, bigger.
This time the hit wasn't just on your ass, he smacked the back of your thighs which he knew were sensitive, worsening the pain. You almost jumped out of his lap from the mere force, a broken sob leaves your throat as he only coos at you, praising you for being a good girl for him. He lifted you up and settled you down on the bed, on your tummy because your ass was swollen from the hits. He rubbed your cheeks, even spreading them a little to sneak a view of your pussy and god were you soaked. He smiled, rubbing a finger up and down your pretty folds as you try to squirm away from him but his firm grip is holding you in place. "You act like you dislike it, dear. But can you tell me why you're absolutely leaking down here, hm?" He spoke softly whilst gently rubbing your clit as if to make up for the harsh behaviour only a moment ago. You buried your face further into the silk covered pillow, lips wobbling as you try not to moan from him playing with your greedy cunt. Your mind was telling at you to kick him away, disgust filling your senses. But your body on the other hand was enjoying what the man did to it, much to your dismay.
He raised your hips up, your swollen ass now sticking out in the air while your face was still buried in the pillow. You whined softly when Zhongli kicked your legs open, forcing his leg between them. The rough material of his pants grinding on your already leaking cunt, a damp spot forming on his sleek pants while you writhed in a confusing mixture of rage and pleasure. He pulled back suddenly, lowering himself, now face level with your leaking cunt as you squirm in discomfort. He gently pats your lower back, as if you comfort you. The thought makes you want to scoff. He puffed a warm breath right on your pussy, making you clench around nothing as you feel your eyes tear up again. You were nothing but a slave now. Nothing but his property. Not like you can right back either, as it was a contract between the two of you. Your train of thought cut off as Zhongli kicked a fat stripe up your cunt with his dragon-like tongue, a gasp escaping your mouth. He groaned into your pussy, mumbling something about how good you taste. The vibrations of his voice make you shiver, more of your slick soaking his chin as he laps up what your cunt offers him. The sweet, sweet honey like fluid dripping out of you with each lick and suck, it has him impossibly hard. If you weren't too distracted by how fucking good his long tongue feels shoved in your sensitive core, you'd notice how the way he was humping the bed right now. The tip of his cock leaking with precum as he gets addicted to your divine taste. He pulled his tongue out, fat fingers now replacing the muscle as he wraps his lips around your swollen clit, making you claw the sheets as a broken moan escapes your throat. The rough leather wrapped around his fingers adding a addictive friction in your tight heat, all while he sucks on your pretty little clit so fucking nicely.
"Cum for me, won't you? I know you will. You're my good little girl, aren't you?" He chuckled, his voice a few octaves lower as thick desire coats every word that flows out of his sinful mouth. You don't answer, that earns you a harsh slap against your clit, making you cry out in sudden pain. "Answer, pet."
You chant his name over and over again, pleas and sobs of "y-yes! 'm cummin' so hard! Don't stop-" your eyes rolled back as he sped up the pace of his fingers, curling them just right to make you gush all over his fingers and tongue, even soaking the lower half of his face as he laps up all you have to offer. He helps you ride out your orgasm as you collapse against the sheets, huffing in exhaustion. But you knew he wasn't done yet. Not by the way you could hear his belt hitting the floor as he flipped you on your back, a growl erupting in his chest as he pushed your legs back, your thighs squishing against your pretty breasts, the position making it slightly hard to breath.
He tapped the blunt and swollen head of his cock against your clit one, two, three times before finally pushing in with a pop! You both groan in unison, the thick head splitting you apart. You panted out like a bitch in heat when he started dragging his cock slowly in your cunt, pushing in slowly. As much as he liked to see you in pain, he knew he’s fucking huge. So he had to go slow to not tear your pussy apart. He stared intensely at your cunt opening right up for him, taking his cock like a champ. He rubbed delicate circles on your clit with his thumb, trying to distract you from the scorching hot pain of his cock splitting you in half. He let out a low growl when he finally pushed himself all in your cunt, burying his cock to the hilt. Fat tear droplets that once clung to your lash line now fell on the silken sheets as you clutch the pillow as tight as you can. You hiccuped when he pulled back, pulling his cock almost all the way out before slamming into you again. You could feel every ridge and vein on his throbbing shaft, bumping against your sweet spot oh so effortlessly while all you can do is writhe and whine below him. It didn’t take long for him to pick up the pace, now slamming into your can with such intensity it had you seeing stars. His finger still skilfully stimulating your hardened clit as he grinned wickedly, his canines showing and eyes glowing a golden hue.
Your eyes widened when you felt his cock getting even bigger in you, stretching your velvety walls beyond their limits as you squirted all over his cock, your slick covering his lower abdomen and thighs, the glossy substance rubbing down his fat balls as he groaned at the sight, pushing all of his body weight on you. “Fuck- take my cum, darling, Gonna make you such a sweet mommy. You want that, don’t you? All fucked and swollen with my- ah shit- all fucked and swollen with my kids… yeah? Take my cum- take it. You’ll be mine forever until you perish! ” He babbled, growling as he dove down to bite your neck hard, drawing blood as he filled you up with his seed.
Once you both came down from your highs, he plopped next to you, shoving a pillow underneath your legs to keep all of his sticky release inside of you. But alas, there was just so much of it that it dribbled out from your pussy, soaking the sheets even more, if possible. Zhongli only sighed, patting your head and kissing your temple as you slowly drifted off to sleep.
He was right.
You were going to be his forever.

Popular Go Karting Events In Kochi
Overview of go-karting in Kochi Top of Form
Go-karting is a popular recreational activity in Kochi, Kerala. It is an adrenaline-fueled experience that has gained immense popularity among people of all ages. Here is an overview of go karting kochi :
History of go-karting in Kochi:
Go-karting first emerged as a sport in the United States in the 1950s. Since then, it has spread worldwide, and Kochi was quick to adopt this activity. The first go-karting track in Kochi was opened in the early 2000s. The popularity of go-karting grew quickly in the city, and today, Kochi is home to several go-karting tracks.
Types of go-karting tracks and facilities available in Kochi:
There are mainly two types of go-karting tracks available in Kochi: outdoor tracks and indoor tracks. Outdoor tracks are generally larger and offer more variety in terms of track design and terrain. Indoor tracks, on the other hand, are more compact and are designed for faster speeds.
One of the most popular outdoor tracks in Kochi is the Ripples Mall Go-Karting track. The track is 350 meters long and has a mix of twists and turns that make for an exciting racing experience. There is also the 1/4 Mile Go-Karting track, which is a smaller track that is designed for younger drivers.
In terms of indoor tracks, one of the most popular facilities in Kochi is the Fun City Go-Karting track. The track is 200 meters long and features a challenging layout that requires precision driving. Another popular indoor track is the Kochi Fun World Go-Karting track, which has a track length of 300 meters.
Safety measures taken at these facilities:
Safety is a top priority at all go-karting tracks in Kochi. All tracks have safety protocols in place to ensure the safety of drivers and spectators. Before drivers are allowed on the track, they are given a brief orientation on how to operate the go-karts and the safety rules that must be followed.
All drivers are required to wear helmets and seat belts while on the track. The go-karts are equipped with roll bars and other safety features to protect the driver in case of an accident. Track attendants monitor the race closely to ensure that all drivers are following the rules and driving safely.
Popular go-karting events in Kochi
Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala, has become a hub for go-karting enthusiasts. Go-karting is a popular sport among people of all ages and is also a great way to spend time with family and friends. Here are some of the most popular go-karting events in Kochi:
PVR Karting: PVR Karting is one of the most popular go kart kochi tracks in Kochi. The track is located at the Lulu Mall in Edapally and is open to the public from 11 am to 9 pm every day. The track is designed to provide an exciting experience for both beginners and experienced drivers.
Rony's World Amusement Park: Rony's World Amusement Park is located in Athirappilly and is home to a 500-meter go-karting track. The track is open from 10 am to 6 pm every day and is designed to provide a thrilling experience to drivers of all levels.
Wonderla Amusement Park: Wonderla Amusement Park is one of the biggest amusement parks in Kochi and is home to a 600-meter go-karting track. The track is open from 11 am to 6 pm every day and provides a unique experience for go-karting enthusiasts.
Dreamworld Water Park: Dreamworld Water Park is located in Thrissur and go kart thrissur is home to a 350-meter go-karting track. The track is open from 10 am to 6 pm every day and is designed to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for drivers of all ages.
The dates and locations of these events may vary from time to time, so it is advisable to check their websites or social media pages for updated information.
These go karting thrissur events are popular among locals and tourists alike for several reasons. Firstly, go-karting is a fun activity that allows people to compete with each other and test their driving skills. Secondly, these events provide a break from the routine and allow people to unwind and relax. Thirdly, these events are affordable and accessible to people of all ages, making them an ideal activity for families and friends to bond over. Finally, go-karting is a safe activity that is supervised by trained professionals, making it a popular choice for those who want to experience an adrenaline rush without risking their safety.
In conclusion, go-karting is a fun and thrilling activity that has gained immense popularity in Kochi. With several tracks and facilities available, there are plenty of options for go-karting enthusiasts. And with the strict safety measures in place, it's an activity that can be enjoyed with peace of mind.

Cummings accuses PM of encouraging attacks on junior staff over No 10 parties | Boris Johnson | The Guardian
Dominic Cummings has accused Boris Johnson of encouraging attacks on junior civil servants over the “partygate” scandal in order to protect himself and his wife, Carrie.
The prime minister’s onetime senior aide said senior officials had “turned a blind eye” to his behaviour. He referred to briefing against one No 10 private secretary, Hannah Young. It has emerged that her leaving party on 18 June led to the first fines announced this week.
Reports after some of the parties involving civil servants included a staff member breaking a swing in the garden belonging to the Johnsons’ son Wilfred, a suitcase of alcohol being purchased from a nearby Co-op and one staff member acting as a DJ.
A total of 20 fixed-penalty notices have been issued to staff who broke lockdown rules. Johnson had previously told parliament when the allegations first came to light in November 2021 that “all guidance was followed completely in No 10”.
In his latest blog, with an excerpt posted on Twitter, Cummings said: “It is deeply, deeply contemptible that not just the PM but senior civil servants have allowed such people to have their reputations attacked in order to protect the sociopathic narcissist squatting in the No 10 flat.
“Not just ‘allowed’ – everybody at the centre of events also knows that the PM encouraged the media attacks on junior officials in order to divert the lobby’s attention from him and Carrie breaking the law. Some very senior officials have turned a blind eye.”
Carrie is reported to have had parties in their Downing Street flat, while Boris had a surprise birthday party in 2020 attended by up to 30 staff, as well as the couple’s interior designer, Lulu Lytle.
Young “did a truly phenomenal job”, and “made us all safer” during Covid and while coordinating a response to a terrorist incident, Cummings said.
On Friday officials in Downing Street started to get emails saying they were being fined £50 for attending parties, days after the Metropolitan police confirmed they were handing out the notices.
Detectives are investigating 12 events in 2020 and 2021, six of which Johnson is said to have been at. The Met has said it has received more than 300 photographs and 500 pages of documents after a Whitehall inquiry by senior civil servant Sue Gray.
In an appearance before a parliamentary select committee and in statements from his spokesperson after the fines this week, Johnson refused to accept that the law had been broken.
In response to a question from the Scottish National party MP Pete Wishart during his Commons liaison committee session, Johnson said: “I have been, I hope, very frank with the House about where I think we have gone wrong and the things that I regret, and I apologise for, but there is an ongoing investigation.
“I understand the point you’re making, but … I have been very clear I won’t give running commentary on an ongoing investigation.” ...

Annual List of Favorite Film Experiences of 2019
Happy New Year! All the best to you for a fabulous 2020 and new decade!
2019 was a busy year of traveling. Work took me back to China (three times), Japan, Korea, and first time visits to the Czech Republic and Australia.
I had the opportunity of a lifetime when I helped lead a group of Harvard-Westlake faculty members on a culture and food themed trip to China with James Beard Award-winning food writer/chef Fuchsia Dunlop. As a big fan of hers, I invited her to join us as our culinary tour guide and she accepted, leading us through three regions of China with distinct cuisines (Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Shanghai). Over ten days, she curated 19 meals with over 300 different courses! For more, go to my first annual food post: https://ewh111.tumblr.com/post/189972112494/2019-food-lists
And now, here are my favorite film experiences of the past year.
Cheers, Ed
The Best and The Favorite of the Year
Parasite
The less you know before viewing this metaphorical, fiercely dark, genre-bending comedy/horror/social satire of haves and have nots where everyone is arguably a parasite, the better. Korean filmmaker Boon Joon-ho creates a memorable, twisty, thought-provoking film experience with exquisite storytelling, stunning visuals, sudden tonal shifts, unexpected turns, and a terrific cast. Just take the journey and enjoy this masterful work that may be the best film of the year. Trailer: https://youtu.be/isOGD_7hNIY
Jojo Rabbit
Appealing to my affinity for the quirky, this one is my favorite film of 2019. Who knew that a story during the waning days of WWII about a 10 year old Hitler Youth, his imaginary friend Adolph Hitler, and his single mom who is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic would be so sweet and funny. While an absurdist witty satire on the surface, it’s really an anti-hate, coming-of-age story as we experience the world through the eyes of 10 year old Jojo as he confronts and reconciles “the other” he’s been taught to hate in the world around him. Delicately balancing whimsy and seriousness, Jojo Rabbit is a beautiful and soulful film thanks to a great cast, including a terrifically endearing Scarlett Johansson (while likely to garner more attention for Marriage Story, this is the more memorable character to me), the audacious Jewish-Polynesian director Taika Waititi as the sophomoric Hitler bestie, Sam Rockwell as an SS officer with a heart, and a wonderful Roman Griffin Davis in the title role. Trailer: https://youtu.be/tL4McUzXfFI
Racing Against Time
1917
Wow. Daring and bold filmmaking in one of the most realistic and visceral war film experiences since the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. In a role that may be overlooked during awards season, George MacKay is a standout as one of the two soldiers sent on an impossible mission through No Man’s Land to deliver a message to prevent British forces from entering a massive German ambush. Oh, and via pure movie magic, director Sam Mendes and master cinematographer Roger Deakins tell this story in what seems like one continuous shot. I was totally drawn in by the Gallipoli-esque race against time, the real-time pacing of 24, and the immersive POV of a video game. The result is breath-taking as the camera dances around the soldiers, trenches, bunkers, and towns in a beautifully choreographed dance without distracting from the gripping storytelling. Trailer: https://youtu.be/gZjQROMAh_s
Ford v Ferrari
An exhilarating, high octane, crackling thrill ride. The story of two obsessively passionate crazies, ex-racer and car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and British race car driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale), who join forces with American corporate titan Ford to defeat Ferrari at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1966. It’s pure adrenaline that non-racing enthusiasts can enjoy because of the well-crafted story and performances. Trailer: https://youtu.be/I3h9Z89U9ZA
Unforgettably Creepy and Disturbing
Joker
Joaquin Phoenix disturbingly and completely transforms himself into the pathologically deranged, downtrodden, and delusional part-time clown/aspiring comic Arthur Fleck in this origin story of Batman’s arch nemesis. Joker is a deeply disturbing character study of how an emotionally fragile individual on the fringes of society gets pushed deeper and deeper into the downward spiral of insanity to the breaking point. Dark, edgy, and unsettling, Joker is not for everyone. But there’s no denying Phoenix’s brilliant, tour de force performance. (Unfortunately, my edginess was heightened in my screening by an audience member who was similarly laughing inappropriately like Phoenix’s character, which had me looking for the closest exit in the event of a disturbance). Trailer: https://youtu.be/zAGVQLHvwOY
Us
In his sophomore directorial effort, Jordan Peele has gone beyond the horror and social commentary of Get Out, and into even deeper, more chilling existential territory. In Us, Peele has created an All-American family terrorized by a creepy scissor-wielding doppelgänger family and spirals into more terrifying and mysterious terrain with a fabulous dual performance by Lupita Nyong'o. Who is Us? Is Us them? I’ll leave the metaphorical debate for later. Trailer: https://youtu.be/hNCmb-4oXJA
**Midsommar deserves notable mention in the creepy category–a slow-burn, dark tale of a young American couple’s vacation in the remote Swedish hinterland at a once-in-lifetime summer festival that goes creepily and morbidly wrong. Trailer: https://youtu.be/1Vnghdsjmd0
Masterworks by Tarantino and Scorsese
Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood
Perhaps Quentin Tarantino’s most mature film, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood beautifully captures in painstaking detail a specific moment in time: Hollywood, 1969. A passionate homage and love letter to Los Angeles and the Hollywood scene, Tarantino blends a concoction of history and fantasy (a la Inglourious Basterds) in a buddy movie with Leonardo DiCaprio as declining TV hero/star and an endearing scene-stealing Brad Pitt as his stalwart stunt double/best friend whose lives fatefully intersect with Sharon Tate and the Manson family. While at times meandering (it’s less plot and more a series of vignettes), it is also at times spellbinding (an on set encounter between DiCaprio’s character and a fellow 8 year old child actor; Margot Robbie’s Sharon Tate watching herself on screen inside Westwood’s Bruin Theater). As the title implies, this is a quintessential Tarantino fairy tale: funny, yet warm, and, of course, violent. Trailer: https://youtu.be/ELeMaP8EPAA
The Irishman
An epic, career-capping entry into Martin Scorsese’s mob-themed oeuve, The Irishman appropriately brings De Niro, Pacino and Pesci together in this elegaic saga, complete with de-aging technology to tell the story of mob hitman Frank Sheeran (De Niro) through multiple flashbacks. And for those of us old enough to remember, the story helps to answer the unsolved question, what happened to Teamster head Jimmy Hoffa. Trailer: https://youtu.be/RS3aHkkfuEI
Family Dramas
Marriage Story
Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver are top-notch in this raw, yet poignant, and ultimately life-affirming journey through the disintegration of a marriage and the logistical mechanics of the divorce process and custody fight seen from both sides as each struggles to reestablish priorities in their lives and redefine family. Trailer: https://youtu.be/BHi-a1n8t7M
The Farewell
We are told the film is “based on an actual lie” in the film’s opening titles; director Lulu Wang’s heartfelt, deeply personal, and charming film stars Awkwafina as a young woman whose grandmother (in China) has been diagnosed with terminal cancer but the entire family has decided to keep it a secret. Under the guise of a hastily planned family wedding, the family gathers to say goodbye to grandma. Capturing the uneasy tension between Chinese and American culture, questioning where one belongs and the role of family in our lives, Awkwafina shines in her first dramatic role, as does the rest of the supporting cast. Trailer: https://youtu.be/RofpAjqwMa8
Little Women
Director Greta Gerwig follows up Lady Bird with another achievement, giving the classic 19th century Louisa May Alcott period piece a thoroughly modern feel with an effervescent cast and 21st century non-chronological storytelling. Saoirse Ronan leads a fantastic cast. Trailer: https://youtu.be/AST2-4db4ic
Two Funny Smart Girls, Two Religious Guys, and Only One Baby Per Family, Please
Booksmart
More than just a female version of Superbad, Booksmart is an impressive directorial debut for Olivia Wilde with the fantastic duo of Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein (HW ‘11) as the “study hard” academic besties on a mission to “play hard” on the last night before graduation. Also memorable is the scene-stealing Billie Lourd (HW ‘10). This very funny and delightful coming-of-age pic stands out in the pantheon of teenage comedies not only for its quirky and smart tone, but for its inclusive and diverse three-dimensional characters, including LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming teens whose sexuality don’t define who they are. Trailer: https://youtu.be/Uhd3lo_IWJc
The Two Popes
I didn’t expect a film that is essentially an extended conversation between two people would be so intriguing and gripping. The imagined conversation in 2012 involves two very different men, one the sitting pope who finds himself standing increasingly in the way of progress, and the other, his eventual successor looking to retire from an institution he is increasingly frustrated with. But with spot-on casting and terrific performances from Jonathan Pryce as the ABBA-humming future Pope Francis and Anthony Hopkins as the stoic, humorless intellect Pope Benedict XVI, The Two Popes is a joy to watch. Trailer: https://youtu.be/T5OhkFY1PQE
One Child Nation
This one’s a doc. From 1979 to 2015, China instituted the “One Child Policy” as a means of population control to stave off mass starvation. Documentarian Nanfu Wang, herself an exception to the policy and now a first-time mother, explores the enduring ripple effects of the policy that included forced abortions, sterilizations, abandonment of baby girls, and child trafficking. This powerful and devastating documentary looks at the multi-layered trauma–how it was carried out and the heartbreaking human and societal toll it has taken. Trailer: https://youtu.be/gMcJVoLwyD0
**Other documentaries to check out: Cold Case Hammarskjold, Where’s My Roy Cohn, The Biggest Little Farm, Leaving Neverland.
All Out Pure Fun Movie Experiences
Knives Out
An enthusiastic bundle of joy, Knives Out is Rian Johnson’s stellar, intricately crafted, Agatha Christie-like whodunit with a stellar cast who seem to be having as much fun as the audience. Trailer: https://youtu.be/qOg3AoRc4nI
Rocketman
Can’t help but compare this to Bohemian Rhapsody, but Rocketman is the superior and more entertaining musical biopic (using the term loosely). It’s bold, magical, and fantastical, as befits Elton John. Trailer: https://youtu.be/S3vO8E2e6G0
Other notables: The King, Avengers: Endgame, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Honey Boy, Yesterday, Velvet Buzzsaw.
In the queue: Pain & Glory; Uncut Gems; Bombshell; Richard Jewell, The Last Black Man In San Francisco.
Favorite Binge-worthy TV Shows
Dark, Succession, When They See Us, Chernobyl, Mindhunter, Barry, Veep, Sex Education, Silicon Valley, Stranger Things 3, Don’t F**k with Cats
Special Shout Out to Dark
With elements of the mysterious strangeness of Twin Peaks and Stranger Things (minus the humor and camp) and the intricate intertwined storytelling and compelling characters of The Wire, Dark is the story of four families who live in a tiny German town situated next to a nuclear power plant (add a little of Chernobyl) who are inextricably connected through some strange cosmic phenomenon. Oh, and throw in a big dose of time travel. Dark is incredibly compelling and addictive. It is hands down the most complex and thoughtful (i.e., sophisticated and makes sense) time travel-themed story I’ve seen. Do yourself a favor and resist Googling anything about the show to avoid spoiling the experience. Just watch. There are two seasons worth at Netflix. And one more on the way. Trailer: https://youtu.be/S3vO8E2e6G0

All the New Boston-Area Restaurants to Check Out This Fall
It’s a delicious season
Fall 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting season in the Boston area’s dining scene. There are many restaurant openings on the horizon, including a number of expansions of well-loved local restaurants. Moody’s Delicatessen, for example, is expanding from Waltham to Back Bay; Union Square’s Ebi Sushi will get a Fenway sibling, Sushi Kappo; Boston Chops will add a Downtown Crossing location; and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar just expanded from Back Bay to Fort Point.
The season also includes the expansions of a few high-profile out-of-towners, such as Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., which just got a sibling spot (with a slightly different concept) in Fenway; New York’s iconic Magnolia Bakery, whose Boston expansion comes admittedly a few years past the cupcake bubble, but it’ll be a fun spot nonetheless; New York’s extraordinarily popular food cart and restaurant empire, the Halal Guys; and a massive New York-based music venue and restaurant with a focus on wine, City Winery. And of course, there will be poke: Pokéworks, which already has one local outpost in Somerville, is expanding to Harvard Square.
Here’s the rundown on fall 2017 (and beyond) restaurant openings in and around Boston. Something missing? Email [email protected]; this guide will be updated throughout the season.
This guide was initially published on August 23, 2017; it is being updated periodically through the end of fall 2017, and the date of the most recent update appears above.
Jump to:
Boston | Amesbury | Arlington | Braintree | Brookline | Burlington | Cambridge | Concord | Dedham | Framingham | Ipswich | Lexington | Lynn | Malden | Marlborough | Medford | Needham | Newton | Norwood| Salem | Scituate | Somerville | Waltham | Watertown | Woburn | Worcester

All the New Boston-Area Restaurants to Check Out This Fall
It’s a delicious season
Fall 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting season in the Boston area’s dining scene. There are many restaurant openings on the horizon, including a number of expansions of well-loved local restaurants. Moody’s Delicatessen, for example, is expanding from Waltham to Back Bay; Union Square’s Ebi Sushi will get a Fenway sibling, Sushi Kappo; Boston Chops will add a Downtown Crossing location; and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar just expanded from Back Bay to Fort Point.
The season also includes the expansions of a few high-profile out-of-towners, such as Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., which just got a sibling spot (with a slightly different concept) in Fenway; New York’s iconic Magnolia Bakery, whose Boston expansion comes admittedly a few years past the cupcake bubble, but it’ll be a fun spot nonetheless; New York’s extraordinarily popular food cart and restaurant empire, the Halal Guys; and a massive New York-based music venue and restaurant with a focus on wine, City Winery. And of course, there will be poke: Pokéworks, which already has one local outpost in Somerville, is expanding to Harvard Square.
Here’s the rundown on fall 2017 (and beyond) restaurant openings in and around Boston. Something missing? Email [email protected]; this guide will be updated throughout the season.
This guide was initially published on August 23, 2017; it is being updated periodically through the end of fall 2017, and the date of the most recent update appears above.

75 on Seaport Square
This will be the latest in a group that includes 75 Chestnut and 75 on Liberty Wharf, as well as Boston’s two Cheers locations and Hampshire House.

Projected opening: November 2017. 60 Seaport Blvd., Seaport District, Boston
Bar Lyon
The newest restaurant from the Columbus Hospitality Group (Mistral, Mooo…., Ostra, etc.) will feature Lyonnaise cuisine, from duck confit to saucisson, complemented by an all-French wine list. The restaurant, located a block from Toro in the South End, will seat around 60, making it fairly small compared to the rest of the group’s venues. Projected opening: Fall 2017. 1750 Washington St., South End, Boston
Barracuda on the Fly [NOW OPEN]
Barracuda Tavern’s food truck spinoff got a brick-and-mortar location in the former Pedro’s Tacos space, serving Key West-inspired seafood. It’s open for weekday lunch only. Opened: October 2, 2017. 55 Bromfield St., Downtown Crossing, Boston

Citrus & Salt
Jason Santos is turning Back Bay Harry’s into more of a sibling of one of his other restaurants, Buttermilk & Bourbon — but where Buttermilk & Bourbon focuses on New Orleans-inspired cuisine, Citrus & Salt will take its cues from coastal Mexican.

A venue for food, music, and wine that has its roots in New York City will finally arrive in the West End in November.

The venue will have more than 30,000 square feet of space, and the restaurant will seat 100, while the entertainment area will seat 300. Due to some construction setbacks, a number of early fall shows that had already been scheduled were moved to different venues. Projected opening: November 2017. 1 Canal St., West End, Boston
Craft Table & Bar
From the group behind Worcester-based coffee shop Brew on the Grid and more, Craft Table & Bar is opening in East Boston, replacing the nearly decade-old Ecco (and keeping some favorite menu items).

Eventide Fenway [NOW OPEN]
This sibling to Portland, Maine’s acclaimed Eventide Oyster Co. isn’t exactly the same as the original location, but some of Eventide Portland’s greatest hits — hello, brown butter lobster roll — are available at the new spot, which features a “continued service” model that blends counter service with floating servers (so diners don’t have to return to line to order more food and drinks). Opened: October 7, 2017. 1321 Boylston St., Fenway, Boston
Evergreen Eatery
From the owners of JP Seafood Cafe comes a farm-to-table restaurant serving classic American diner food with some Latin, Caribbean, and Asian influences.

Grainmaker [NOW OPEN]

Owner Chris Freeman hopes to open 10 locations in the Boston area in the next three or four years; this one is the first. Opened: October 2, 2017. 91 Summer St., Downtown Boston
Honeygrow [NOW OPEN]
This Philadelphia-based fast-casual chain recently opened its first Boston location in the Fenway neighborhood, and Seaport followed close behind. Honeygrow centers around customizable stir-fried dishes: Customers can choose from a variety of rice and noodle bases, vegetables, meats, sauces, and more. An abbreviated version of Honeygrow, Minigrow, is expected to open in early 2018 at a yet-to-be-announced address. Opened: October 13, 2017. 100 Northern Ave., Seaport District, Boston
Hopsters

Moody’s Delicatessen & Provisions
Joshua Smith is expanding his meat empire in a few ways this year, including a Back Bay version of his popular Waltham deli.

Plus, he’s adding a couple of adjacent spots to his existing Waltham space. And a holiday season pop-up on Newbury Street. And a California location. Projected opening: Second week of November 2017. 500 Boylston St., Back Bay, Boston
Oisa Ramen Slurp & Go

Our Fathers Delicatessen
This “modern Jewish deli inspired by old school tradition but firmly rooted in new school ways” comes from the group behind Franklin Cafe, Tasty Burger, and Citizen Public.

Rogue Lounge
Located in the former North Star space, Rogue Lounge is slated to serve sushi, small plates, and more, alongside cocktails and beer, and there’ll be live music and DJs.

All the New Boston-Area Restaurants to Check Out This Fall
It’s a delicious season
Fall 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting season in the Boston area’s dining scene. There are many restaurant openings on the horizon, including a number of expansions of well-loved local restaurants. Moody’s Delicatessen, for example, is expanding from Waltham to Back Bay; Union Square’s Ebi Sushi will get a Fenway sibling, Sushi Kappo; Boston Chops will add a Downtown Crossing location; and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar just expanded from Back Bay to Fort Point.
The season also includes the expansions of a few high-profile out-of-towners, such as Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., which just got a sibling spot (with a slightly different concept) in Fenway; New York’s iconic Magnolia Bakery, whose Boston expansion comes admittedly a few years past the cupcake bubble, but it’ll be a fun spot nonetheless; New York’s extraordinarily popular food cart and restaurant empire, the Halal Guys; and a massive New York-based music venue and restaurant with a focus on wine, City Winery. And of course, there will be poke: Pokéworks, which already has one local outpost in Somerville, is expanding to Harvard Square.
Here’s the rundown on fall 2017 (and beyond) restaurant openings in and around Boston. Something missing? Email [email protected]; this guide will be updated throughout the season.
This guide was initially published on August 23, 2017; it is being updated periodically through the end of fall 2017, and the date of the most recent update appears above.

All the New Boston-Area Restaurants to Check Out This Fall
It’s a delicious season
Fall 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting season in the Boston area’s dining scene. There are many restaurant openings on the horizon, including a number of expansions of well-loved local restaurants. Moody’s Delicatessen, for example, is expanding from Waltham to Back Bay; Union Square’s Ebi Sushi will get a Fenway sibling, Sushi Kappo; Boston Chops will add a Downtown Crossing location; and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar just expanded from Back Bay to Fort Point.
The season also includes the expansions of a few high-profile out-of-towners, such as Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., which just got a sibling spot (with a slightly different concept) in Fenway; New York’s iconic Magnolia Bakery, whose Boston expansion comes admittedly a few years past the cupcake bubble, but it’ll be a fun spot nonetheless; New York’s extraordinarily popular food cart and restaurant empire, the Halal Guys; and a massive New York-based music venue and restaurant with a focus on wine, City Winery. And of course, there will be poke: Pokéworks, which already has one local outpost in Somerville, is expanding to Harvard Square.
Here’s the rundown on fall 2017 (and beyond) restaurant openings in and around Boston. Something missing? Email [email protected]; this guide will be updated throughout the season.
This guide was initially published on August 23, 2017; it is being updated periodically through the end of fall 2017, and the date of the most recent update appears above.

All the New Boston-Area Restaurants to Check Out This Fall
It’s a delicious season
Fall 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting season in the Boston area’s dining scene. There are many restaurant openings on the horizon, including a number of expansions of well-loved local restaurants. Moody’s Delicatessen, for example, is expanding from Waltham to Back Bay; Union Square’s Ebi Sushi will get a Fenway sibling, Sushi Kappo; Boston Chops will add a Downtown Crossing location; and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar just expanded from Back Bay to Fort Point.
The season also includes the expansions of a few high-profile out-of-towners, such as Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., which just got a sibling spot (with a slightly different concept) in Fenway; New York’s iconic Magnolia Bakery, whose Boston expansion comes admittedly a few years past the cupcake bubble, but it’ll be a fun spot nonetheless; New York’s extraordinarily popular food cart and restaurant empire, the Halal Guys; and a massive New York-based music venue and restaurant with a focus on wine, City Winery. And of course, there will be poke: Pokéworks, which already has one local outpost in Somerville, is expanding to Harvard Square.
Here’s the rundown on fall 2017 (and beyond) restaurant openings in and around Boston. Something missing? Email [email protected]; this guide will be updated throughout the season.
This guide was initially published on August 23, 2017; it is being updated periodically through the end of fall 2017, and the date of the most recent update appears above.
