Michael Alvarez+FollowSeaport loses two local favorites in 2026Big changes are coming to Boston’s Seaport: both Temazcal and Tony C’s will be closing for good in January 2026, leaving 84 people without jobs. These spots have been go-to hangouts for everything from after-work drinks to game-day gatherings, so this news hits home for a lot of us. The closures are tied to lease issues, not lack of business, which makes it even more surprising. How do you think this will impact the neighborhood vibe—and where will everyone head next for their tacos and sports nights? #Food #BostonSeaport #LocalEats00Share
Michael Alvarez+FollowAthens favorites we lost in 2025Losing a favorite local restaurant hits hard, especially in a town like Athens where food spots become part of our routines and memories. This year, we said goodbye to places like Square One, Saucehouse BBQ (though their catering lives on), and Athens Wok, among others. Each closing leaves a gap—maybe it was your go-to for late-night eats, or the spot you brought out-of-town friends. But Athens keeps evolving, and new places like Swirlee’s Sweet & Frozen Treats and Yossi Kitchen are popping up. Which closed spot do you miss most, and what new place are you excited to try? #Food #AthensGA #LocalEats00Share
