David Ortiz’s Big Papi’s Grille is close to opening a second location in Boston proper, reports the Herald. The Big Papi’s team (which also owns The Asgard and The Kinsale) just finished scouting locations in Back Bay and Downtown and is waiting to hear back on an offer. Our bet: the former home of 33 on Stanhope Street. The Framingham Big Papi’s recently celebrated its first anniversary and, though Devra First found it to be “generic - a midrange steakhouse in Applebee’s style architecture, a bead in a chain of similar establishments on Route 9,” business is strong.
