New Joint

My sources tell me a new restaurant, called Hopscotch, is moving into into the former Taffy's site.

It'll serve breakfast, lunch and do some catering.

Okay, my source is the sign. I walked by it this morning.

Good to see. Looking forward to having a new lunch place.

The previous restaurant, Theory, seemed to be just that. I only saw that place open once.

did the french fusion place ever open, or what ever it was?.

That was Theory.

As I said, I saw it open once.

Not sure what happened.

10 Center goes the way of the Jarred Coffin House

Oh, there's the comment. See the 10 Center st. post.

I wonder if by catering they really mean "take-out". I can't wait to go there for lunch and sit on the benches.

I ate at Theory once- it was great food and fun to watch the chefs cooking at the bar... but the prices were a little high for the atmosphere.

Someone else emailed in giving Theory high marks. Too bad it didn't last.

Good catch Tom. Seems that Hopscotch is hiring too, according to a craigslist ad:

The Hopscotch Cafe in Downtown Newburyport is looking for experienced baristas (1 yr.+) for FT/PT "counter" culture positions. Friendly and mature applicants should be able to make great coffee drinks, specialty drinks, cappuccino and espresso from scratch (no push buttons here)...all the while taking food orders in busy unique cafe serving contemporary, healthy breakfast & lunch. Fun and relaxed space to work in with potential to put your stamp on the drink menu.

Good catch yourself.

Sounds like I'll have another choice for good coffee, not that anything can replace Plum Island Roasters.

I hope this free publicity won't hurt my chances of scoring a free Fowle's T-shirt.
