2) Legal Sea Foods has officially reopened its doors at the Burlington Mall, after a year-long major renovation. One highlight is their fully enclosed, four-season patio with retractable windows and comfortable seating for over 45 guests. The reopening also debuts a new menu for the restaurant as well as a new Sushi & Sake program.

"We are thrilled to return to Burlington Mall, offering a fresh and reimagined seafood dining experience to the local community and visiting shoppers," said Legal Sea Foods Brand President and COO, Matt King. "We can't wait for guests to enjoy our new state-of-the-art patio, re-imagined bar, upgraded dining room, and enlarged private dining spaces to accommodate more of our business community’s growing event needs.”

The Burlington restaurant debuts an updated menu which includes Legal's new Sushi & Sake program featuring a carefully curated selection of sake and a variety of hand-rolled sushi, nigiri and sashimi. The program includes classics like the Lobster Tempura Roll and California Roll, plus contemporary offerings like the Caterpillar Roll, Firecracker Roll and Dragon Rolls. Their menu has 4 different Sakes, including one made by Brooklyn Kura, which is made in New York City. The other three Sakes are from Japan.

3) Levain Bakery, with a location on Newbury Street, is launching a brand-new cookie flavor on April 3rd: Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip. This new cookie "combines gooey caramel chips, fresh shredded coconut and melty dark chocolate in a rich, buttery crispy-yet-chewy cookie..."

The new cookie will be available starting April 3rd in all Levain Bakery retail bakery locations, and will also be available for nationwide shipping at levainbakery.com. All 4, 8, and 12-packs ordered online will be wrapped in a limited-time festive spring floral adorned packaging. Additionally, all 8-packs can be bundled in Levain’s signature gifting tin, featuring illustrations of the original 74th street bakery where Pam & Connie created the iconic cookie back in 1995 - a fine gift for Mother’s Day or spring graduation!
