After an Early Misstep, Eastern Standard’s Team Tries Italian in Next-Door Restaurant | Eater Boston
"The team’s larger, long‑standing sibling is a much bigger, busier operation (about 160 seats) whose recent reopening created intense demand: Harker says “it just sucked the air out of the room in a way that I’d never anticipated. It was such a sort of frenzy.” The bakery that supplies pasta and bread for the new Italian concept is located across the plaza at the base of the Bower luxury residential building on Beacon Street. The property also includes a tucked‑away cocktail bar behind the main dining room that informs how cocktails and martini proportions are approached across the group." - Celina Colby
