Glasses bar
The Paris Ceperie team has opened a French-inspired cocktail bar next to the Ceperie (in a former glasses business, hence the name and decor), and we are dizzy through its cocktails like a Midori-Sauer who does not taste like the college parties that we prefer to forget. Coming shortly: Brunch service on weekends and Monday (fluffy omeletts, pressed baguette sandwiches) as well as funny events such as cognac tastings.
At the beginning, the Lunette bar opens from Wednesday to Sunday at 4 p.m. 278a Harvard St., Coolidge Corner, Brocline, Barlunette.com.
Cocole
Plan your next shopping spree because the Somerville meeting series has just added a new restaurant to its squad. Cocoleee, a self-described “modern Asian bar and grill”, is now open in the former river area. On the menu, Lobster Siu Mai, grill savings, Blue Crab Rangoon and more as well as tropical cocktails and a spacious terrace with fireplaces.
Open every day for lunch and dinner (drinks until 1 a.m.). 661 Assembly Row, Somerville, 617-616-5561, Cocoleeassembly.com.

Coro
Not every sushi festival has to be an hour-long omakase; We also love an informal option for grave-and-go. Fortunately for Eastie there is a new one to take away with TakeOut-friendly sushi-and-ramen joint with creative sushi rolls and very adaptable ramen as well as many tailor-made snacks-to-do-it-all wings, juicy Gyoza-Sahr on the menu.

Pazza on Porter
Five years later, Pazza searched for the Porter owners Raffaele Scalzi and Mivan Spencer into the future by roots (they bought the building) and refreshes the room and the menu of the Italian-American restaurant. Snack on Wagyu -meatballs -sliders, spicy vodka rigatoni and bianco & sons steak tips, while absorbing the ambience that the team describes as “retro Italian charm”. Bonus: Pazza on Porter is a short trip to Logan, so Scalzi and Spencer have added airport-friendly amenities such as BAG check service and carpooling codes.
