Dine and Dash: Gaslight And Washington Street
Gaslight, a brasserie with good-looking brunch menu, sits on Harrison Avenue about halfway between the Mass Pike and Mass Ave. The French toast stuffed with sweet cheese caught my attention, while Mr Alyk’s eyes lit up at the mention of steak and eggs with biscuits and gravy. Along with a full menu, Gaslight created a few unique cocktails that might make open houses a bit livelier.
Harrison Avenue lies in the southeastern edge of the South End. This area formerly housed much of the city’s manufacturing; therefore, plenty of factories and warehouses begged for conversion. Gaslight’s building looks like a converted factory; however, I really don’t anything about its past life, so I’m not sure what it was.
Washington Street, the South End’s main thoroughfare, lies one block north of Harrison Avenue. Back in the 80’s, the MBTA dismantled the elevated tracks, opening up the formerly shady street, making it safe for the rest of the world. Several new residential developments decorate this now sunny street, including Wilkes Passage, Laconia Lofts, and Gateway Terrace.
