Art & Eats

Metacomet Cafe 27 South Pleasant Street, Amherst

Two new bricks and mortar businesses will open in the heart of the downtown in time to tap into that tidal way of new customers who roar back into Amherst the last week of August.

Metacomet Cafe will open in the spot formerly occupied by Chez Albert before they moved to the other side of town; and Art Alive, an arts and crafts emporium that encourages consumer participation, has taken over the space former occupied by 35 South Cycle, a fitness business that expired last August.

Isn't oriental Flavor, the new Chinese restaurant, opening then too?

Yeah, I notice the "stop work" order from the Building Commissioner came down a few weeks back and it's looking pretty organized inside, so safe bet they will also be open by September.

Spoke to someone painting the outside windows and he said opening in August, for what it's worth.

Art Alive will have a soft opening in August, with the grand opening in September.

Metacomet food may take a back seat to family drama, as in the Hopton brothers hopefully don't kill each other this time!
