News & Notes: Pittsfield Restaurant Reopening
 |
PITTSFIELD — After a two-month hiatus, the Brazilian Restaurant and Pub on McKay Street will have a grand reopening on Thursday, May 15.
Pittsfield Cultural Director Meghan Whilden said the restaurant will be featuring live jazz on the 15th and expects to have more live music throughout the summer and fall.
The Brazilian Restaurant closed just about the same time that Spice closed on North Street ... both victims of a slow off-season and various internal problems.
Spice remains closed while its spin-off, Burger, remains open on North Street.
Special Olympics Runs the Course
