Video Underground in Jamaica Plain Is Adding a Cafe Fall 2019 - Eater Boston
"The Video Underground, located at 3203 Washington St, is known for its extensive Blu-ray, DVD, and VHS collection. The shop is expanding to include a screening room and a sit-down cafe adjacent to its current location. The cafe menu already offers a wide array of coffee drinks, teas, and blended drinks, along with a variety of pastries, and caters to both film browsers and commuters. The menu will expand to include hot food options such as sweet and savory crepes, hot cereal options, soups, and stews. The screening room will be designed like a black box theater, soundproofed and resembling a tiny theater. The cafe's aesthetic will be 'cinema cafe', featuring movie-themed drinks and food items, antique cameras, and rows of video cases. The Video Underground has been hosting screening nights with a variety of film genres and plans to continue this with the new screening room. The expansion aims to create a full-on cafe menu with options for everyone and a cultural space that combines dining and film experiences." - Terrence Doyle
