Nix's Mate Opens This Friday in Downtown Hilton

The downtown Hilton's new restaurant Nix's Mate will open this Friday, says UrbanDaddy. As reported earlier, Nix's Mate replaces the former Caliterra and features a 22-seat bar plus a lounge with room for 30. The menu is "New England-inspired" and the kitchen is headed by Olives alum David Nevins. The name refers to an island in Boston harbor that is apparently cursed by a pirate, rather than a South American herbal tea belonging to a moon of Pluto.
