The Countdown Begins: Why September 12 Changes Everything for Allston

The Next Chapter

If you’ve spent any time at 122 Brighton Ave over the past few months, you already know the vibe. You know the feeling of walking in out of the afternoon heat, claiming a communal table, and tracking down everything from fresh handrolls and crispy chicken to cloud-like soufflé pancakes and specialty teas.

You’ve made it your study-break headquarters, your weekend hangout spot, and your go-to destination when no one in the group chat can agree on what to eat.

But as much as it feels like we’ve been here all along, we’re just getting started.

Save the Date: September 12

On September 12, we are officially cutting the ribbon and hosting our Grand Opening.

This isn't just a party—it’s a celebration of the community that has already breathed so much life into our space. From the students returning for the new semester to our regular weekend grazers and neighborhood locals, you’ve helped turn this open-concept marketplace into a true community living room.

Now, it’s time to celebrate everything that makes this corner of Allston special.

What to Expect

We’re pulling out all the stops to make September 12 a day to remember. While we’ll have plenty of surprises in store, you can expect:

  • The Ultimate Global Spread: All your favorite vendors—from Molly Tea and Cotti Coffee to Mi Nori, Fluffy Fluffy, Tabla, Tasya’s Kitchen, and beyond—will be serving up the best bites and drinks in the neighborhood.

  • A Shift in Energy: The marketplace is getting a massive injection of celebratory momentum, live energy, and community spirit.

  • Your Invitation: Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re stepping through our doors for the very first time, this day is for you.

Get Ready to Celebrate

The countdown is officially on. With just a few weeks until September 12, start rounding up your friends, clearing your calendar, and getting ready for the biggest neighborhood party of the season.

Keep an eye out for more details as we get closer, and come ready to eat, drink, and celebrate with us at 122 Brighton Ave. See you soon, Allston!
