A new restaurant is coming to the Mass Ave area this summer.
Why it matters:Harrison's Restaurant is repurposing a closed Region's Bank branch at North and Delaware streets and will be a casual, affordable "neighborhood haunt," according to its owners.
What they're saying: "The concept is inspired by one of our favorite local gone-but-not-forgotten restaurants — Marco's," said Bill Pritt, the restaurateur who is also behind Mass Ave sushi spot Forty Five Degrees.
Marco's Restaurant and Lounge closed in 2021 after nearly 40 years as a beloved neighborhood spot near the intersection of 54th and Keystone. With a vibe out of a different era, it had weeknight filet specials for under $15, heaping plates of pasta and rotating soups like ham and split pea.
What's next: Harrison's is set to open this summer.
