  • Where to Go When Ya Gotta Go: the Best Public Restrooms That Boston
    Where to go when ya gotta go: The best public restrooms that Boston has to offer One of the perils of touring around a city is trying to find conveniently located bathrooms. While there is always a McDonald’s or Burger King, most fast food emporiums insist you be a customer and even then you have to request somebody to unlock the door. Regular restaurants aren’t very happy either having tourists tromp through their dining establishment. So it’s always good to know where any public restrooms are located so you can better plan your journey. As a public service, here’s a list of Boston’s better placed FREE public restrooms. The Boston Public Library on Dartmouth Street in Copley Square. Enter the main building, go by the security equipment and check-in desk, take a left before the stairs and follow the signs (which will direct you to take a right at the end of the corridor and then a left), Check out the lions guarding the elegant stairway going up to the main reading rooms. After the pressure is off, take a walk through the lovely center courtyard. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of Copley Square’s great hotels – like the Marriott Copley Place, Westin Copley Place, The Lenox or Fairmount Copley Plaza - you only need to go there to appreciate the architecture. Open 9 AM – 5 PM Monday-Saturday (longer during the summer) and 1 PM – 5 PM Sundays. The “New” State House on Beacon Street atop Beacon Hill.

  • An Implementation Plan for a Public Market in Boston
    An Implementation Plan for a Public Market in Boston May 2011 Submitted to: Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Submitted by: Project for Public Spaces 700 Broadway, 4th Floor New York, NY 10003 May 2011 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Consumer Demand 10 Vendor and Product Availability 16 Public Market Design, Merchandising and Access 24 Market Oversight and Management Structure 36 Operator Capabilities 42 Start Up Financial Requirements and Sources 46 Start Up Operation Requirement and Procedures 52 Ongoing Operational Costs 58 Conclusion 64 2 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Boston has a long history of public markets – at one time the city boasted a series of markets to serve its citizenry and visitors. As in most cities, Boston’s indoor public markets fell victim to ‘modernization’ and they all closed, with the exception of the revamped physical structures of Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall which were converted to ‘festival markets’ having little connection to Massachusetts’s producers, farms and fisheries. As the tradition of the public market makes a well-deserved reappearance into the everyday life of American cities, Boston – with its burgeoning popularity of outdoor farmers markets - is well positioned to be the next great market success story. Moreover, a new public market has the potential to strengthen Massachusetts’s agricultural economic base by providing farmers, fisheries and producers of value added products a new and significant outlet for their products. The proposed market also has the potential to save small family farms from going out of business, thus strengthening the communities from which these farms and businesses are based.

  • Restaurant Opportunity at the Base of Luxury Opportunity
    RARE RETAIL/RESTAURANT OPPORTUNITY AT THE BASE OF LUXURY OPPORTUNITY Eleven33 is a mixed-use development that provides a unique opportunity for retailers and restaurant operators to secure a home in the densely populated and affluent communities of Oak Park and River Forest. The submarket, given the scarcity of quality retail space, has always provided a heightened barrier of entry for numerous retailers and restaurant operators. Given the collection of existing retailers and restaurants in the immediate retail trade area, the submarket is clearly a point of destination for many consumers. Eleven33 can provide such a home for discriminating retailers and restaurant operators. THE TRADE AREA The subject retail opportunity is centrally located within the Oak Park/River Forest submarket. The submarket is just 10 miles west from downtown Chicago and is a vibrant marketplace with a rich heritage and legacy. There is a massive collection of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes in the area, including the architect’s own home and studio. Oak Park is also the birthplace of Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winning author Ernest Hemingway. In contrast with other communities throughout Chicago’s suburbs, Oak Park has experienced a significant number of luxury mixed- use developments over the past few years. The surrounding retail district is a collection of eclectic boutique shops, national retailers and a varied array of full service restaurants mimicking the personality of a diverse and affluent residential base.
