Burgers and beer -- they go together like, well, burgers and beer! In that spirit, the Boston Burger Company has partnered with Costello's Tavern to run the restaurant's kitchen. Costello's and Boston Burger Company mutually announced the new relationship on Facebook. Boston Burger Company said they started serving up burgers on Dec. 14 and the Costello's crew will be slinging drinks.
Costello's Tavern, one of Jamaica Plain's favorite bars, recently reopened on Centre Street. The Tavern closed during the pandemic in 2020 and earlier this month teased on Facebook that it was starting to look like "Drinkmas". Costello's reopened on Dec. 20, is accepting credit cards, but the kitchen is still under construction. Stop in for a drink or two, and help a local institution get back on its feet.
Joey McIntyre's new video Own This Town begins where his theatrical career started -- The Footlight Club. Before he was hangin' tough with the New Kids On The Block, McIntyre was in several shows in our beloved neighborhood's community theater. After all, he grew up in Jamaica Plain, and his mother was in Footlight performances for decades. His video starts off in The Footlight Club, where they filmed in recent weeks. Then he takes a car ride through Jamaica Plain, clearly reminiscing as many of our local spots are shown -- Costello's Tavern, J.P. Licks, the Soldier's Monument, St Thomas Aquinas Parish, and the post office.
