Inman Square's Changing Restaurant Scene

Some changes are coming to the Inman Square restaurant scene, and they involve a couple of the city's most popular restaurants.

Magnolia's, a Southern-style restaurant that has been around for 15 years, is closing sometime in the middle of June. No news on what is going to replace it as of yet; the building had been up for sale over the winter, but whether this remains the case or not is unknown (if you have any information on this, please send us a comment).

The other news coming out of Inman Square is that the All Star Sandwich Bar is being sold by Chris Schlesinger. According to the Web site for the city of Cambridge, the restaurant will be sold to the Diamonds Restaurant Group, Inc., and the new owner has applied for an entertainment license to include, among other items, a jukebox.
