A Board Game Cafe for Brookline; Opus Affair's Big Party

COOLIDGE CORNER — Looks like Brookline might be getting a board game cafe, which is ostensibly a cafe at which you can play board games. Knight Moves, as it will be called, will apparently have a collaboration of some sort with Eureka! Puzzles, which is right down the street. [BRT via Boston.com]

KENMORE — The Opus Affair, a networking group of people who appreciate the performing arts and other fun cultural things, is hosting its annual Big Party this Sunday, July 28th, at 1pm at Eastern Standard. Attendees will be able to slurp down oysters from Island Creek and other bites "inspired by 1920s circus fare."

BRIGHTON CENTER — Longtime Cleveland Circle Thai restaurant Bangkok Bistro closed earlier this year to move to a new location in Brighton Center, in the former Naked Pizza space. It appears that the new Bangkok Bistro is almost ready to open. [Boston.com]
