Mass Ave’s east end just keeps getting better and better. Black Market, 922 Massachusetts Avenue, boasts “fantastic food with eccentric beer and wine offerings” and looks like it’s going to be a great fit for the avenue. Architect Jim Lingenfelter’s design (Five2Five Design Studio) and Liz Ditzler stylish interiors set the perfect mood for this gastropub, we think you’ll like it.
