Deval Patrick has made a decision that is allowing the Boston Parks and Recreation Commission to convert two historic restroom buildings into commercial and restaurant space.  One of the locations is the Duck House in the Back Bay Fens and the other one is in the Boston Common called the Pink Palace.  Its definitely a good idea to provide Boston residents and visitors with a good restaurant in a park setting.  New York City has done this with Tavern on the Green in Central Park and it was a total success.  Ken Oringer is extrememly interested in the available space and I think with his great background in opening successful classy restaurants that it will be a homerun.  Only problem I can foresee is the fact that Mayor Menino is extremely opposed to allowing liquour licenses on the Common.  We’ll see what ends up happening!
