Our Wine Team has prepared a list of over 70 wines that match nicely with bivalves and the seasonal seafood meals served at B&G Oysters, inspired by their hunt for the most appropriate wines to enjoy with oysters. Each carefully selected wine demonstrates authenticity, seasonality, and history, as well as terroir, or "feeling of place" - the idea that wines are a natural match with the ingredients and cuisine of their original areas. Crisp, mineraly whites and a careful selection of ocean friendly reds from our favorite artisanal producers, in addition to Champagne, Chablis, and Muscadet – our favorite matches with oysters — round out our wine selections. We are excited to welcome you!

We work with youth, ages 16-24, who are in the foster care system, court-involved, homeless, out of school, parenting, or involved with the Department of Mental Health. At More Than Words, our young people earn a spot on our team running a successful $4M business, gain promotions, set and achieve personal goals, advocate for their rights, and learn skills to set them up for success in any career path they choose. Because too often our young people are treated for their problems rather than engaged as part of their own solution. In our work-based social enterprise, youth experience a real job and all that comes with it: a paycheck, a sense of mattering when a team relies on them, feedback and performance reviews, promotions and leadership. More Than Words started as the "book people" and we still are - but we are so much more. Our social enterprises are the vehicle for youth transformation and as we've grown we've innovated with new vehicles and new ways to connect with our community.

What happens around the dinner table, we believe, is one of the greatest sources of delight. Let us create the right private event for you, whether you're hosting a small gathering or a large gathering, a casual reception or a formal dinner. Lunches, dinners, cocktail receptions, taster tours, wine tastings, and demos are all available. Below are some of our space options. In our third-floor dining room, which is focused on an open kitchen and a massive wood-burning grill, you can host your gathering. Your guests will be transported to an Italian greenhouse as they sip seasonal beverages and relax as the Terra culinary team prepares a menu of perfectly balanced smoke-kissed dishes using seasonal ingredients, all while being surrounded by greenery. The Terra culinary staff cooks seasonal fresh foods over flaming flames in the dining room, enabling the simple flavors to emerge. The herb-infused drinks, extensive wines, and local brews complement the earthy cuisine nicely. In other words, each visit to Terra will provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The casual, busy restaurant serves groups of 12 to 25 people and focuses on the culinary mainstays of Italian cuisine. Your visitors will be able to enjoy Italian beverages while watching professional chefs and pizza makers prepare food right in front of their eyes. While pizza and pasta are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Italian cuisine, there is a reason why these two culinary classics are Italy's most popular exports. Just feet away from where our professional pasta cooks and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes, you may enjoy our seasonal assortment.

Fogo is the ideal spot for groups of various kinds to celebrate a special birthday, organize a major corporate meeting, or buy out the entire restaurant. To meet your demands, our experienced sales managers will offer a variety of personalized menus, package options, and private and semi-private eating rooms. The Boston Fogo is located in Copley Square, across from the Boston Public Library and just steps away from Trinity Church and the Hancock Building. The location is great for both inhabitants and visitors. Fogo Boston features many private and semi-private dining spaces that may accommodate groups of 10 to 100 people. All dayparts have different menus, as well as full-service catering and contactless takeaway and delivery choices. Fogo de Cho's founders grew up on a traditional Serra Gaucha farm in Southern Brazil. They learnt to cook in the churrasco grilling tradition, which would later become the story's backbone. In 1975, the founding brothers moved from Rio Grande do Sul to Rio and São Paulo to pursue official churrasqueiro training while also establishing the Fogo concept. This original restaurant, built of wood and tucked in the Porto Alegre countryside, arose out of an obsession with quality, investments in the city's art and culture, and a reverence for the founders' families' heritage. The Fogo concept was transplanted to the United States, with a stateside debut in Dallas, Texas, at the request of devoted American guests. Since then, the restaurant has expanded greatly thanks to a reputation of delicious food and exceptional customer service.
