Eastern Standard
Garrett Harker revives Boston's beloved brasserie and bar, now in a new location, while paying homage to the original with nostalgic touches.
This happening scene stars masterful cocktails & modern fare in a glamorous atmosphere.
Borrachito Taqueria & Spirits
Hailing from Manhattan's East Village, Borrachito introduces a speakeasy element: At first glance, it's a contemporary counter service taquería in the Seaport. Yet, concealed behind what seems like a walk-in freezer door near the counter, awaits a semi-secret bar offering "Kinda Like a Margarita" cocktails, diverse michelada variations, and more.
Sky Candle
Sky Candles are hand-poured in Boston, MA in micro batches and made with all-natural ingredients with no additives, dyes, or preservatives. Their goal is to create quality candles that everyone can afford.
The candles are made with 100% American-grown soybeans and with lead-free cotton wicks for an eco-friendly clean burn.
