We heard some bad news the other day, The Achilles Project-Persephone restaurant have shut there doors as of Saturday August 1st. This is a major blow to the community. It is people like Michael and Shaka that are taking risks and putting a lot on the line to push the edge in Boston.
The Achilles Project was located in the Fort Point Channel at 283 Summer Street. It was a great place to meet up with friends and relax in the lounge/bar area and have some drinks. Neighbors in 25 Channel Center down the street are going to miss being able to walk to a nice lounge.
The concept for Persephone was Contemporary American-inspired cuisine that featured only the fresh ingredients and seasonal items. Chef Michale Leviton who you can still visit at Lumiere Restaurant in Newton did a great job creating the menu.
The boutique featured exclusive and limited-run clothing and accessories from competitive to high-point fashion lines. They also carried previously unreleased collections from a wide variety of designers for both women and men.
Featured Designers:
- Acne
- Band of Outsiders
- Clae
- Earnest Sewn (my favorite jeans BTW)
- Rag & Bone
