Mill City Gourmet in Lawrence Has Become Wichit

A cafe in Lawrence that has been serving breakfast and lunch to both locals and nearby workers for several years has changed its name and menu, and renovated its interior. Mill City Gourmet in the Everett Mills complex on Union Street became Wichit earlier this fall (same ownership) and now focuses more on organic foods and sandwiches, though some items from the Mill City Gourmet's menu are still offered. A press release put out by Wichit states that the rebranded cafe is now doing online ordering and also offers catering.

The menu at Wichit includes pulled pork breakfast burritos, frittatas, angus steak chili, a roast turkey Cobb salad, sweet potato fries, and a number of sandwiches (Cubano, chicken katsu, angus burger, ham and egg, and several others).

On a side note, Mill City Gourmet was a restaurant that we had featured on the Boston's Hidden Restaurants site. We will be heading to Wichit soon to check out the spot, but in the meantime, if you would like to read our old Mill City Gourmet review, here it is:

Cutty's to Open in Brookline in Early 2010

As mentioned in an earlier post, a cafe-style restaurant featuring "handcrafted food" with a focus on sandwiches will be opening in Brookline soon. According to a Boston Globe interview with the owner of the dining spot, Cutty's looks to open on Washington Street in Brookline Village in early January of 2010. The restaurant will be moving into the spot where the burger place Franky 'N the Boys used to be before closing earlier this fall.

Based on a sample menu posted by the Brookline TAB blog, Cutty's will probably offer a variety of homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well as some desserts. The restaurant will also be open for breakfast, with likely items including bagels and muffins. According to the Globe interview, sandwiches should be priced somewhere between $6 and $8.

The address for this soon-to-open cafe in Brookline Village will be: Cutty's, 284 Washington Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.
