There’s been a new restaurant under construction for a few weeks over at 437 Congress Street at the former location of GRO Cafe. Signage is now up and it look’s like it will be a sandwich shop called Mike’s – “We make Rock ‘N Roll Sandwiches”. Info on the Guitar Grave (Mike’s neighbor and owner) website promises “a small menu of fast, inexpensive and delicious items as well as luncheon and drink specials”.
There’s an Italian eatery going in at 7 or 9 Exchange street called Canelli’s. I saw it in the Tuesday business section of the paper last week and saw the actual sign on the door today. I think it’s the old Betsy’s or whatever is the last spot before the corner store at the end.
