PopUp Bagels
This viral bagel shop is expanding its reach in Boston even more, only a few short months after opening its first area location in the Seaport. The (controversial) rip-apart bagels can now be found in Assembly Row, and The Harvard Crimson reports that the East Coast bagel chain will open in Harvard Square this month.
Opening date: October 2025
1440 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
The Hollows
The perfect October opening comes from Dragon Pizza’s Charlie Redd with The Hollows, a neighborhood restaurant he described as having a “spooky vibe.” It isn’t immediately clear what the menu will look like yet, but Redd told The Somerville Times that The Hollows — in the former Rudy’s Cafe spot — is a “revisiting of craft cooking and hospitality.”
