Revitalization Flourishes In Dorchester With Facade Freshening, Menu Additions & Official Patio Opening At The Blarney Stone

Popular Twilight Tuesday Tasting event will feature a 3-course BBQ July 12th

BOSTON, Massachusetts – 28 June 2005 – New awnings on store fronts, more dining options, and landscaped patios - this is Dorchester? The Blarney Stone restaurant in Field’s Corner, part of the Eat Drink Laugh Restaurant Group (EDL), has actively embraced Mayor Menino’s Dorchester Avenue revitalization effort which is designed to refresh local storefronts & businesses along Dorchester Avenue, as well as decrease congestion. With its recent unveiling of new awnings, redesigned sign, landscaped patio, and a revamped creative American menu, The Blarney Stone continues to give residents of Dorchester and beyond a fun, stylish, and friendly neighborhood dining destination to call their own.

“The Blarney Stone has been a model neighborhood restaurant, with a great approach to keeping their dining and entertainment experience fresh and enjoyable,” said Andre Porter, director of the City of Boston’s Office of Business Development. “We should be so lucky as to have similar establishments in all of our neighborhood business districts.”

The new summer dinner menu features dishes such as Ginger Salmon, Warm Spinach & Bacon Salad, and Baked Chicken Rigatoni, with new Sunday Brunch options as well. Additionally, Twilight Tuesday Tasting’s, the popular 3-course dining prix fixe available the second Tuesday of each month, continues for the summer. Taking place Tuesday, July 12th, the next special Tasting will feature BBQ-themed choices, which will be grilled directly on the landscaped patio. Pre-seating tickets are now available.

Recently awarded ‘Businessman of the Year” by the Fields Corner Civic Association, managing partner Gordon  ‘Ben’ Johnson says, “Dorchester is becoming a mix of the South End and Jamaica Plain, which all went through their tough times but are now popular place to live. It’s close to the city, the neighborhoods are rapidly developing, and The Blarney Stone is in the center of it all, doing what it can to transform the area.”
