Welcome, Anoush'ella

Washington Gateway Main Street extends a warm welcome to a new restaurant in the district - Anoush'ella Saj Kitchen is a "fine casual" spot that brings Eastern Mediterranean food to Washington Street. First-time restauranteur Nina Festekjian and her husband, Raffi, bring flavors from their Lebanese-Armenian heritage to the South End and we couldn't be more excited.

Read more about Anoush'ella in their recent write-ups in Boston Magazine and Eater Boston, then check out our list of all the flavorful offerings the South End has to offer in our Restaurant Guide.

Anoush'ella is located at 35 West Newton Street and is now fully open for lunch and dinner every day from 11am-11pm.

Flour | @flourbakerycafe

Their flagship store on Washington St (before it became an empire) Serving Fazenda coffee (@fazendacoffee) with a side of drool worthy baked goods. Think sticky buns and chocolate brioche. Order over the phone to skip the well deserved lines on your way to work.

"Chef/“idol” Joanne Chang’s “upscale” breakfast-and-lunch bakery chain earns a “cult following” for her “thoughtfully prepared” sandwiches on “wonderful” fresh bread and “tasty pastries”, including the “infamous” “rave”-worthy sticky buns (“every dieter’s worst nightmare”); most locations are typically “bustling with hip young families” and urbanites “planning their next startup”, so they’re “chaotic” and “usually swamped”, but “very solicitous service” keeps things moving." -THE ZAGAT REVIEW

ReCycle Studio

Check out this member review of ReCycle! 
"This is a great cycling studio with very friendly instructors and owner. Each instructor is different and gives a completely different ride. The atmosphere is excellent as it's non-intimidating, comfortable and cozy. I went here to try indoor cycling for the first time in my life and I became addicted shortly after. Along with dieting, this cycling course helped me lose 30 lbs!
