NORTH ADAMS — In collaboration with the DownStreet Art openings on Thursday, June 26, Cafe Latino at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art will host the art celebration's after-party beginning at 9 p.m.

Cafe Latino is a sponsor of the event and will host a tasting table with tacos and salads on Main Street during the downtown event, which runs from 6 to 9 p.m.

Chef Omar Montoya will craft nuevo Latino cuisine alongside a Latino-inspired cocktail menu and wine list and will offer extended dinner service until 10. Beginning at 10, Cafe Latino's special guest DJ Hush will kick off the evening's revelry with dance music under the stars.

One of the few outdoor dining spots available in the Berkshires, Cafe Latino will officially unveil its courtyard dining under the treetops at this event. "Tree logic," Mass MoCA's iconic installation by artist Natalie Jeremijenko, will be the backdrop for al fresco dining all summer.

In partnership with Kolok Gallery of North Adams, this night also commences the cafe gallery's summer art opening of New York-based international artists Aaron Almendral and Mariano Delgado, who have joined their talents in a collaborative venture calling themselves DNA.  The exhibition marks one year since Kolok Gallery began selecting and installing all of the artwork for Cafe Latino in addition to the Mezze Restaurant Group's other venues including Mezze Bistro and Bar and allium.
 
Cafe Latino is located at 1111 MASS MoCA Way. For additional information or to make reservations, call 413-662-2004 or visit www.cafelatinoatmoca.com.

North Adams Water Safe to Drink

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Water Department says all water line breaks have been repaired and water restored to those affected areas. 
 
The boil water order has been lifted by the state Department of Environmental Protection. Residents no longer have to boil water or use bottled water for drinking, making ice, food preparation, brushing teeth or washing dishes. 
 
A partial lift of the Dec. 15 order was issued on Tuesday; as of Thursday, the requirement is no longer in effect for any areas of the city. 
 
The water issues began on Friday after a water main broke in an inaccessible area behind the water treatment plant on Pattison Road. The drop in pressure and frigid temperatures led to breaks on American Legion Drive and by State Road and Biltmore Avenue. 
 
It took all weekend to fix the main, and several more to repair the other breaks. During this time, residents experienced no water or low water pressure. 
 
The Water Department says all repairs have been completed and that samples collected throughout the distribution system were free of total coliform and E. coli bacteria.
