Caffe Graffiti Is Open Once Again in the North End

An Italian cafe in the North End of Boston that closed about two years ago has reopened in a new spot. Caffe Graffiti, which had been located on Hanover Street until 2007, recently opened its doors on Cross Street where Martignetti Liquors used to be. The new Caffe Graffiti looks to feature more in the way of food, with sit-down service in its dining room and lunch and dinner entrees offered.

Caffe Graffiti had shut its doors around the end of 2007 after being in business since 1991. Their old spot at 307 Hanover Street has been home to Ristorante Damiano since 2008.

Hours for the new Caffe Graffiti are 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM Monday through Saturday and 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM on Sundays.

The address for this reopened spot in the North End is: Caffe Graffiti, 64 Cross Street, Boston, MA, 02113. The phone number is (617) 367-3016. And the website is at: http://www.caffegraffiti.com/

Absolutely Fabulous Opens on Main Street in Melrose

A chef and caterer who had been serving meals out of a Melrose dining spot on weekends has now moved the operation to the center of town, with the new restaurant open six days a week.

According to the Melrose Free Press and Wicked Local, Chef Lori Muse recently opened Absolutely Fabulous on Main Street where the Blues Grille used to be, bringing to Melrose Center a dining spot that features eclectic cuisine and inventive Italian fare. Absolutely Fabulous Weekends had formerly operated out of Cedar Perk, a cafe and coffee shop on West Emerson Street. According to the restaurant's Facebook page, the new Absolutely Fabulous on Main Street accepts credit cards and offers alcoholic beverages (neither of which were available when the restaurant was operating out of Cedar Perk).

Absolutely Fabulous is open from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM on Monday and Wednesday through Saturday, and 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Sundays (the place is closed on Tuesdays). The address is: Absolutely Fabulous, 454 Main Street, Melrose, MA, 02176. The phone number is (781) 665-3008. And their Facebook page is at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melrose-MA/Absolutely-Fabulous/126096524483

Thanks to a poster on the Chowhound site for letting us know about the opening of this restaurant.
