La Bodega Brings Tapas, South American Cuisine to Watertown

By |

The owners of one of the Watertown’s latest culinary additions seeks to combine the food of two far off locations to town, featuring high-quality ingredients in a laid back setting. Chef Gabriel Bremer and his wife Analia Verolo opened La Bodega by Salts in Watertown quietly earlier this year, and serve dishes from the South American nation of Uruguay and Basque country. Though currently in a soft opening, the restaurant welcomes diners four nights a week. Bremer and Verolo met in Portland, Maine, where they were part of the founding team of Fore Street. For a decade, the couple ran Salts in Cambridge, a fine-dining restaurant featuring modern French and Spanish food with only a handful of tables.

ATM Card Skimming Device Discovered at Watertown Savings Branch

By |

A scammer put devices to “skim” debit cards into an ATM at Watertown Savings Bank’s Church Street Branch. The “skimming” incident was discovered by a customer who noticed something strange while using an ATM on Saturday, according to a report by Wicked Local. In a skimming scam someone places devices that can record the information from cards inside the ATM’s card slot and a camera to get people’s PIN numbers. The bank removed the device which a bank official said had only been there a short time and new cards have been sent to those impacted. “This is an isolated device impacting a small number of customers,” a statement on Watertown Savings’ website reads.

Phase 4 of Arsenal Project Includes Plaza With Restaurants, Retail & Apartments

By |

The fourth phase of the Arsenal Yards project will feature what developers hope will become a focal point of the site, with a plaza where people will stroll, eat at restaurants’ outdoor seating and gather for special events. Developers from Boylston Properties presented the plans during a Community Meeting at the Arsenal Yards last Thursday. This phase, the fourth of five, includes three buildings, two of which will surround the plaza in the center of the new layout of the former Arsenal Mall. It will be in the middle of what was the front parking lot of the old mall. Building C will have 27,500 sq. ft.
