Grub Street reported on 4/27:

Privus will shutter on May 2. The news, first rumored on Chowhound, is confirmed by a Facebook invitation for a farewell party on May 1. Privus’ closing marks the end of an empire for owner Jerry Quinn, who was also the man behind the recently-deceased Brighton bar The Kells.

Privus was beloved by both the white hat set and the city’s food obsessives alike, the former there for the drunken festivities (where will they go now that Privus and The Foundation Lounge are dunzo?) and the latter enjoying Privus’ supply of cult Korean fried chicken Bon Chon. Though Quinn couldn’t be reached for comment, rumor has it that the Bon Chon franchise in Prius will be moving to Bull Korean BBQ, set to open soon in the former home of Shilla in Harvard Square.

Grub Street reported on 4/22:

Coolidge Corner Theatre will soon begin to offer wine and beer, reports the Brookline TAB. Though the movie theater still needs approval from the state, now that the town’s Board of Selectman has authorized the liquor license, it looks to be smooth sailing ahead. This is excellent news for Brooklinians, who will no longer be forced to smuggle booze in Coke bottles in order to have a drink during their art house movies (not that we’ve ever done such a thing, of course). The theater hasn’t yet decided on beer and wine purveyors. What would you like to see served at Coolidge Corner?
