Bonfire of the Vanities?

Walked by the former Bonfire a little while ago which went the way of the aforementioned movie when the economy went south. The new incarnation of Bonfire is pulling the wraps off the new restaurant which is NOT a Todd English establishment. It appears foodies and/or fooderati were in sampling today with an opening tomorrow. To be known as "Pairings" -Food and wine with personality is the claim on the window - whatever that means. I'll post here if I get a chance to sample this week!

From bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com:

A high-end steakhouse that had made its home in the Park Plaza Hotel (and was run by a well-known chef) for most of this decade until closing this summer will soon be home to another dining spot, this one featuring more affordable cuisine. According to the Boston Herald, Todd English's Bonfire has given way to a contemporary American restaurant called Pairings. The Herald mentions that the new dining spot will focus on $3 to $12 "snacks" that diners can share and sample, and it will also offer soup, salads, and a handful of entrees.

Pairings, which looks to open next Thursday, will have a fresh new interior that includes an outdoor patio.

The address for this soon-to-open restaurant will be: Pairings, 50 Park Plaza, Boston, MA, 02116.
