The New Retail Thread

In the Globe article on the Museum of Illusions, I noticed a graphic announcing that the Museum of Ice Cream is opening in the Seaport in 2024. (121 Seaport Boulevard).

Another global museum chain. Google Museum of Ice Cream Reviews to get a sense of what it is about.

Tacky overpriced chain tourist trap? Perfect for Seaport.

I'm quite sure 1 Lincoln has never had restaurants--just massive expanses of gleaming marble in its huge L-shaped lobby, with equally massive expanses of abutting brickwork on its abutting sidewalks.... wonder what nearby tower you might be thinking of?

You are absolutely right, I was thinking of the Radian building directly across the street.

Yes! "Little Buddy"

[as the Radian tower was once hilarious termed, by someone far funnier than me, on AB]

Used to be Townsman; now Stillwater*. Stillwater has actually operated there continuously since August 2019 per Google research, so, there was no pandemic-induced gap at Radian between the different restaurants, for what it's worth...

I've had dinner at Stillwater and it's quite good. The chef is from Stillwater, OK. When my nieces came to visit last summer, they had to have dinner here as well since they all graduated from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK.

Bit of a weird one...I was on the stairs next to 400 Summer in Seaport and saw one logo on one pane of glass with no context. Did a reverse image look up and apparently it's for "Remedy Place", a Social Wellness Club (whatever that is). Pretty sure it's the first retail announced/planned for the building, but not the most inspiring. Ice baths, acupuncture, whatever. Somehow not a gym? Not sure. LA, NYC, now Boston.
