LYNN — Something’s brewing at the recently shuttered Brew on the Grid cafe at the Flatiron building downtown. Carlos and Maria Almendarez plan to open the Lazy Llama Cafe next month in the 1,500-square-foot space on the first floor of the Vault, the 47-unit apartment building on Central Avenue.

The Vietnamese-inspired restaurant from chef Rachel Miller is set to open in downtown Lynn on Oct. 23 with brunch, lunch, dinner, and an out-of-the-box cocktail lineup. Though fans of the concept will recognize some of Miller’s dishes from Nightshade’s recent pop-ups — the ever-popular mi kho, made with homemade noodles, as well as the canh chua dac biet, a tamarind seafood soup — other items will make their debut at the brick-and-mortar spot. For lunch, Nightshade will offer a variety of banh mi sandwiches (shredded beef and curry shrimp, fried lemongrass chicken, and barbecue mushroom), along with a handful of noodle dishes, coffees, and teas. For dinner, a series of snacks, small plates, and noodles will be served: black pepper candied peanuts, bone marrow fried rice, chicken curry soup, and crispy egg noodles with seared scallops. Miller said that the menu will rotate constantly, focusing on seasonal and hyperlocal produce.

LYNN — The city is updating its Waterfront Master Plan, and several developments are already planned for the Lynnway.
The projects will feature waterfront apartments and condominiums, public access, mixed-use buildings, retail and possibly a hotel.
“All of the planning is now bearing fruit as the development community has discovered Lynn’s waterfront,” said James Cowdell, Economic Development & Industrial Corporation of Lynn executive director.
Groundbreaking for two of those planned waterfront developments on the Lynnway are expected in the next several months, while other sites could be years away from being transformed into new, higher uses.

“I can tell you that we are in a historic amount of development that’s occurring,” said Jim Cowdell, who heads up the city’s economic development efforts. “When we rezoned downtown Lynn and we put the height at 10 stories, everybody said, ‘That’s crazy, no one’s ever going to build a 10-story building.’ That’s what’s going on as we speak.”
Cowdell said that in his lifetime there has not been an investment of $90 million in Lynn, referencing the price tag of the Munroe Street project. And that’s just the start. Three projects in the works on the city’s waterfront, totaling $895 million, according to Cowdell’s office.
