The Palm Restaurant to Close, Move to Financial District

The Palm Restaurant at the Westin Copley Place in Back Bay will be closing by the end of this year says the Boston Business Journal. The article also reports that the Palm plans to relocate to the Financial District and sites a post by Adam's H&T Industry blog that says the restaurant, which is one of 30 locations, hopes to reopen in fall 2012 at One International Place. Adam also tells us that the Brazilian meat-fest chain Fogo de Chao may move into the Palm's old space. If that name sounds familiar it may be because you've seen their photos of beef on metal spikes in many an airline mag. You know, between the ads for Hawaiian gold and a matchmaking service.
