Tim and Nancy Cushman, the James Beard Award-winning duo behind Boston's acclaimed O Ya restaurant, have announced their second restaurant in their home city. Boston Magazine reports the Cushmans will open the "high-energy izakaya"Hojoko inside the brand-new Verb Hotel, located near Fenway. Menu details are scarce at the moment, but the restaurant plans a Fall 2014 debut.
The Cushmans have been on an expansion tear of late: In May, the pair debuted their first new New York City concept, the Roof at Park South, inside the Park South Hotel. Rumors continue to swirl that a second Cushman concept is also underway in New York, though the O Ya team has yet to confirm.
